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 small rounded funerary cone or cone-like object of clay with damaged, incised surface decoration or writing on the visible face.
The image shows a single, small, brownish clay artifact photographed against a dark-to-light gradient background. The object is roughly conical but appears worn into a rounded form, with a concentration of shallow incisions or strokes on the upper front surface. The incised marks are too eroded to reliably identify specific hieroglyphs, titles, or names. No clear deities, cartouches, or legible royal titulary are visible at this resolution. The sides and underside are plain aside from the general worn texture. The overall surface is matte with cracks and pitting consistent with fired or dried pottery.
