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, columnar stone jar fragment/standing section with a small vertical face bearing painted or incised Egyptian hieroglyphs.

The image shows a light-colored stone vessel fragment set on a small stand against a dark background. The object has a flat top with a break and a tapered/rounded lower portion, suggesting it is a surviving portion of a jar rather than a complete vessel. On the front upper portion there is a compact register of Egyptian hieroglyphs rendered in dark ink or pigment (the lines look like incised/painted marks filled with color). The hieroglyphs include multiple stacked signs and what appears to be a cartouche-like or name-box element, though the exact king’s name and determinatives cannot be read confidently at this resolution. No deities are clearly legible from the visible signs. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The stone surface appears smooth and semi-translucent, consistent with the catalogue’s stated travertine/Egyptian alabaster material, though this cannot be independently confirmed beyond appearance. Condition appears fragmentary due to the broken top/edges.
