Small, broken inlay tile fragment with a white and dark lined border framing a band of geometric decoration; background appears reddish-brown with plaster/adhesive remnants.

The image shows a small rectangular tile inlay fragment broken along one edge. The upper portion is reddish-brown with a matte surface and visible chips, while the lower portion includes a white decorative field bordered by dark, thick outlines. Across the lower section there are repeated geometric elements (alternating dark and light bands or blocks) and short horizontal/zigzag-like lines. No clearly legible Egyptian hieroglyphs, cartouches, or figure scenes are visible in the available view; the decoration appears primarily ornamental/geometric. Materials are consistent with a ceramic/faience inlay fragment, though only the surfaces are visible. There is no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text apparent.
