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.

The image shows a rectangular grey stone plaque with an incised linear register of worn Egyptian hieroglyph-like marks.

A flat, rectangular object is photographed in close view. Across the center is a band containing shallow incised signs that resemble Egyptian hieroglyphs: a zigzag wavy element, multiple vertical strokes, and blocky curved/straight strokes grouped into short sequences. The carving is partially eroded and hard to read precisely, but the overall layout is consistent with an inscription intended for stamp/seed-casting (cylinder-seal style motifs), rather than a painted or relief-only scene. No clear cartouche enclosure, royal name, deity figure, or iconographic narrative is unambiguously identifiable from the available photo. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The material appears to be stone; the catalogue reports steatite, which is plausible given the uniform dark-grey appearance, but the photo alone does not allow definitive confirmation of steatite vs. other dark stone.
