Fragment of an Egyptian sculpted arm/shoulder with carved cartouche-like bands containing recessed glyphs and a face-like element on the right.

The image shows a light-colored stone fragment shaped to resemble part of an arm extending from an outside shoulder area. On the front face are two adjacent rectangular cartouche/oval cartouche forms with rounded tops. Inside the left cartouche are stacked, wavy horizontal lines (stylized hieroglyphic strokes). Inside the right cartouche is a small eye-like motif above a horizontal band and a short set of additional strokes, suggesting naming or solar god epithets; however, the exact sign values cannot be read confidently from the photograph. No legible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The carving is in low relief with worn edges, and the stone surface shows minor pitting and tool marks consistent with an indurated limestone relief fragment. The object appears consistent with an Amarna-era Aten-associated cartouche style, but the precise Aten/Royal names cannot be securely identified from the available detail.
