A rounded stone/clay funerary cone bearing an Egyptian hieroglyphic inscription in raised/etched lines across its face.

The image shows a single cone-shaped object photographed close-up. The face is filled with an incised/painted-looking vertical and horizontal arrangement of hieroglyphs, contained within a roughly circular/oval field. Several sign groups are visible, including what appear to be stacked vertical sign elements near the upper portion and additional smaller sign boxes and strokes toward the lower half. No clearly recognizable deity iconography (e.g., standing gods, crowns, animal forms) is distinctly legible from the photo; the main readable content is the hieroglyphic text. No royal cartouche is clearly identifiable. The surface appears to be a light-colored, rough fabric consistent with fired pottery or sandy clay. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
