A small stone block fragment showing carved hieroglyphic signs and part of a royal cartouche-like inscription.

The image depicts a roughly triangular block fragment with a horizontally stepped top and weathered surfaces. On the front face, several incised hieroglyphic-style signs are visible in shallow relief/engraving, including two rounded elements on the left and right that resemble parts of a cartouche or adjacent royal-name signs, with a central vertical sign between them. A horizontal border line runs across the middle portion of the front, consistent with the layout of block inscriptions. No clearly readable royal name is fully preserved in the provided photo, so the specific identification as the cartouche of Nefertiti cannot be confirmed visually from this image alone. No painted decoration is visible; the stone surface appears uniformly pale and granular.
