A small, irregular fragment of hardened clay/mud showing a partial impressed design that includes vertical, human-figure-like forms and some surrounding incised details.

The object is a compact, weathered fragment with a rough, granular surface consistent with a hardened mud/seal-impression material. On the visible face there is a partial impressed motif: several narrow vertical elements appear to form a figure-like silhouette (possibly part of a deity or royal figure rendered in low relief/outline within the sealing). Some additional incised lines and clustered marks are present around the central motif, but the overall composition is too incomplete to reconstruct specific hieroglyphs or a full seal text. No clear cartouche border or legible royal titulary is visible. The fragment is photographed against a plain light background; no other materials or colorants can be securely identified beyond the general gray-brown clay tone. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
