A worn clay tablet or stela with a roughly modeled face.
The artifact appears to be a clay stela with a crudely modeled human face at the top portion. The surface is eroded and lacks detailed carving, suggesting it might have served a basic or symbolic function. The material seems to be unfired or low-fired clay, typical of less durable items. The face is not well-defined, lacking clear attributes or inscriptions, which might indicate a less formal or expressive purpose.
