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 circular/planar Egyptian funerary cone-like object (pottery) shown with incised hieroglyphs arranged across the face.
The image shows a light-colored, weathered clay artifact with a flat-to-slightly convex face and a darkened rim/edge. The surface has multiple lines of incised hieroglyphic signs in black/dark pigment or deep engraving, distributed across the visible area; the signs are worn but clearly hieroglyphic in layout. No clear cartouche (royal name oval) is confidently readable from the available resolution. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic script is visible. Deity names cannot be identified with certainty from the partly legible sign forms. The catalogued identification as a funerary cone of the Fourth Prophet of Amun Kaemamun is consistent in general with the presence of Egyptian hieroglyphs on a pottery funerary object, but the specific name Kaemamun cannot be verified from this image.
