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.
Fragment of an indurated limestone sculpture showing a rounded foot/leg-related contour and smooth carved surface, likely from a larger prostrate figure.
The image shows a single stone fragment with a curved, blocky outline consistent with a carved limb/foot portion. The surface is largely plain and worn, with shallow incised/tool marks and loss along the edges. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or figure attributes (e.g., facial features, crown, or hands) are visible on this fragment. The breakage appears ancient or heavily abraded; details that might distinguish Akhenaten from Nefertiti are not present in the visible area.
