A roughly rectangular limestone relief fragment showing incised/sunk lines that may belong to an offering inscription, alongside a winged/vertical eye-like motif resembling a Wadjet-style eye element.

The object is a broken, compact limestone relief fragment with a fairly flat face. The decoration consists of shallow sunken/incised lines arranged in horizontal registers. On the left portion there is a prominent vertical, sharply pointed almond/eye-like shape with a narrow central stem, which could be part of a Wadjet-eye motif but is not fully preserved for confident identification. Several horizontal bands to the right resemble lines of hieroglyphic text or layout guides, though individual signs are not preserved clearly enough to read with certainty from the image. No legible Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. No cartouche or royal titulary is clearly identifiable due to the fragmentary condition. The surface appears to have been intentionally finished for relief work; any dark coating/varnish mentioned by the catalogue is not distinctly separable in the provided image.
