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.
A small, broken stone tool fragment shaped like a curved sickle blade, photographed against a neutral grey background.
The image shows a single artifact lying horizontally. The piece is dark brown to black with a lighter grey/white patch along one face, likely from exposed material where the surface has chipped or from a flint surface showing lighter interior. The overall silhouette is short and slightly curved, consistent with a blade edge fragment from a sickle implement. The object appears fragmentary, with uneven break edges and no visible hafting element. No carved decoration, inlaid elements, or readable inscriptions are visible. There are no legible hieroglyphs, and no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is present.
