Photograph of a small, rounded Egyptian funerary cone inscribed on one face with worn black/raised hieroglyphs forming multiple registers and signs.

The image shows a grey, weathered, conical/rounded object photographed in close-up from the front. A band of hieroglyphic text covers most of the visible face; the signs are unevenly worn and partially lost, making individual sign reading difficult. The inscription appears organized into rows/lines with what may be a vertical grouping of signs on the right and broader, horizontally aligned signs near the lower edge. No painted pigment remains clearly distinguishable, and the surface looks like fired clay (terracotta-like) with erosion and speckling. No figures of deities are clearly depicted—only hieroglyphic inscription marks are visible. No cartouche or royal titulary is confidently identifiable in the remaining legible shapes. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic script is visible.
