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.
Image shows a single small, pointed, teardrop-shaped lithic tool fragment with a sharp edge, photographed against a plain light background.
The object appears to be a flint/chert-like stone piece with an irregular triangular/teardrop outline. One end is more pointed, and there is a darker, chipped area along one margin suggesting a working edge typical of a lithic scraper. The surface shows knapping/flake scars and weathering; no clear casting, carving, or composite construction is visible. There are no readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other inscriptions. No deities or royal names are present.
