Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
Stone fragment carved with molded human anatomy, likely part of a prostrate royal figure’s body (foot/leg area).
The image shows a roughly rectangular, vertically oriented fragment of carved stone with a chipped surface and missing portions along the edges. The lower portion includes a partly preserved sculpted form of a leg/foot with toes and the suggestion of a bent posture. Above, faint carved relief traces indicate clothing folds or limbs, but finer details (such as facial features or full body proportions) are not preserved. No clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or readable text are visible. The surface appears light-colored and consistent with limestone, with additional weathering/erosion across the face.
