A photograph of a small, rounded/oblong funerary cone with an incised hieroglyphic inscription on its face.
The object appears as a cone-shaped ceramic piece photographed from above at a slight angle. Its surface is weathered, with the outer edge rough and chipped. The front face contains a compact arrangement of incised hieroglyphs (lines and wedge-like strokes) and a central sign that could be part of a name or offering formula, though the individual signs are too worn to read reliably. No other inscriptions (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) are visible. The background is a sandy or excavated ground texture, consistent with an archaeological find context.
