A weathered clay stela with a faint human face in relief.
The artifact is a small clay stela featuring a rudimentary human face in relief. The overall style is simplistic, suggesting it may be from a period of less refined artistic practices or a non-royal context. The surface appears worn, obscuring finer details, and the object is broken along a horizontal line which may have been part of the original design or damage over time.
