Polychrome painted limestone relief showing a seated kneeling figure with a vertical column of hieroglyphs to the right.

The image depicts a roughly rectangular, broken block of limestone with remnants of red and green paint. At left, there is a partially preserved human figure rendered in red-brown tones, seated/kneeling in profile facing right, with a headdress or cap and a bent arm posture; the lower legs/feet area is worn. To the right of the figure is a vertical hieroglyphic column containing multiple signs (paint faded), though the exact text is not fully legible at this resolution. Near the base of the right-hand column there is a small platform-like line and additional short signs; overall preservation is fair-to-fragmentary with substantial surface loss and abrasion. No clearly identifiable Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
