A sandstone relief fragment showing three male heads in profile, depicted with dark-lined facial features, hair/helmet-like contours, and painted pigment remnants on the faces and background.

The object is a rectangular relief block with the upper halves of three heads preserved. The left head is shown in profile facing right; the middle head faces forward/right and has a rounded, hair- or headwear-like outline. The right head is partially damaged, but its forehead/eye area and nose/mouth outlines are visible. The relief style and painted facial features suggest portrait heads carved in low relief and then painted. No legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or alphabetic text are visible on the remaining surface; there are no clear deities or royal iconography identifiable from this fragment alone. Pigment remnants appear as brownish/orange and darker lines on the faces, consistent with painted decoration noted in the catalogue.
