Fragment of a limestone sculptural piece preserving part of a human foot/ankle area, with minimal remaining surface detail and no readable inscriptions visible.
The image shows a light-colored, indurated-looking limestone sculpture fragment photographed against a white background. The fragment preserves a curved portion consistent with a human foot or lower leg ending, but most of the surrounding body context is missing. The surface has tool marks and weathering, with a few shallow incised lines or joins from breakage; however, no clearly defined toes, footwear, or anatomical identifiers are fully preserved. There are no legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other text elements on the visible surfaces. No deities or royal names can be confidently identified from the remaining fragment.
