A rustic clay stela with a faint, minimally detailed face and remnants of symbols.
The artifact appears to be a clay stela, roughly shaped and featuring a minimally detailed, raised face at the top. The surface is coarse, and remnants of red pigment suggest the presence of symbols or decoration, although the details are largely worn away. The simplistic style and lack of intricate detailing imply it may be an early or everyday artifact rather than one for royal or religious purposes.
