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.

A rectangular, convex earthen/ceramic tile fragment inscribed with dark raised incised signs and bordered bands, likely preserving a royal name and associated title elements.

The image shows a single small tile fragment with a rounded top edge and a recessed/raised inscription field. The surface appears brownish with areas of dark, soot-like or pigment-like fill within incised lines; a thin border/frame and horizontal banding are visible near the middle and lower portions. Within the main field, multiple groups of vertical and horizontal sign elements are arranged in stacked lines consistent with Egyptian hieroglyphic text. The top section includes a distinct circular/oval sign element among other clustered characters. The lower portion shows a broader horizontal band and a series of short vertical marks. No clearly identifiable cartouche outline is unambiguous at this resolution, and no deity figures are apparent. There is no Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text visible.
