A painted limestone relief fragment shows part of a courtly scene with human figures and retained pigment along the edges and background.

The image depicts a rectangular stone relief fragment with broken edges and a worn central field. Painted areas in red (skin/clothing zones and side fields) and pale blue/grey (details of garments or ornamental elements) remain visible. In the left half, a partial upper body and head of a figure are preserved, along with an adjacent smaller figure or attendant whose raised arm and hand gesture are visible. In the middle, a larger figure’s torso and a section of clothing with incised/raised linear detailing are visible. On the far right, only the edge of another figure or decorative element is preserved, including a vertical band of red paint and a streak of white/pale paint. No clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are legible; the background includes shallow relief and traces of paint but no identifiable text. The overall composition suggests a court scene consistent with the catalogue description, though specific names/titles cannot be confirmed from this fragment alone.
