Fragment of a small stone block carved with hieroglyphic/royal name text, showing partial cartouche-like and columnar signs on multiple adjacent faces.

The image shows a roughly rectangular/triangular stone fragment with smoothed outer surfaces and carved recessed hieroglyphic signs on the visible faces. One face has stacked, horizontally aligned signs resembling a cartouche-like oval containing a figure (details are abraded), with adjacent vertical sign columns on either side; another face shows more partial, horizontally placed signs with a rectangular/box-like frame and a curved top element. The carving is shallow and heavily worn, making exact sign-by-sign identification uncertain. No figurative deity imagery is clearly discernible; the inscription appears to be royal titulary rather than narrative scenes. The material appears to be a reddish, speckled hard stone consistent with the catalogue’s red quartzite. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No clear Nefertiti cartouche is fully readable, though the presence of royal-name cartouche-like elements is consistent with the catalogue assignment. Overall condition is fragmentary with significant erosion of the carved lines.
