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 smooth, curving surface consistent with a sculpted thigh/limb fragment; surface bears numerous fine hairline cracks and minor engraved marks.

The image shows a light-colored, thick limestone fragment with a rounded contour on the left and a more angular break toward the right, suggesting a portion of a larger carved figure (catalogued as “Thighs of Nefertiti”). The front surface is largely plain and smooth, without clearly legible anatomical details beyond the implied curvature of a limb. There are extensive cracks and fracture lines across the face, with small chips along edges. Near the lower center, there are faint, partial line markings/edges that resemble minor tool marks or incomplete incised lines, but no clearly readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, or text are visible. No painted pigment, gilding, or attached metal is discernible. Overall, the photographic view does not reveal definitive iconographic elements tying the fragment to a specific person or deity.
