A small, simple Egyptian stela with a cartouche visible.
The artifact is a roughly shaped stela, likely made of limestone, with a cartouche at the top. It appears to have some remaining traces of red paint. The style is minimalistic, typical of smaller, personal stelae used in funerary or votive contexts. The surface is rough and suggests wear and age, implying it might have been exposed to the elements or not finely finished.
