The image shows a small, rectangular wooden object with one end carved into a rounded/stepped terminal, consistent with a simple functional fitting such as a door bolt.
The artifact is photographed against a light background. It appears as a short, straight, rectangular wooden beam with a worn surface; one end has a darker, more roughly worked terminal that looks carved or broken into a rounded projection, while the rest of the piece shows smooth-planed sides and a shallow channel or recess near the right end. No carved hieroglyphs, painted decoration, or inscriptions are visible on the surfaces provided. There are no clear indications of deities or royal names/cartouches, and no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is apparent.
