Painted wall-tile fragment depicting part of an animal-headed or masked figure and, lower down, a small panel with crossed/standing emblems or ritual symbols over a blue-green ground.

The object is a vertically oriented ceramic/glazed wall-tile fragment with a pale off-white field and areas of decorative paint. At the upper portion there is the head and upper body of a figure shown in profile/three-quarter view; the head is dark grey/black with a textured, striped element resembling a wig or headdress, and the figure appears to wear a pale garment with radiating/pleated lines. In the lower register there is a horizontal blue-green band and, above it, a small rectangular or tabular motif containing vertical elements and a central group that could represent hieroglyphic or symbolic emblems, but the exact signs are not legible at this resolution. Several areas of surface loss and staining are visible, especially around edges and along breaks. No clearly readable cartouche, deity name, or full inscription is visible; the painted signs remain indistinct. Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is not visible.
