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.
Photograph of a rounded, pottery funerary cone or cone fragment with an eroded surface bearing faint incised markings that may be hieroglyphic text.
The image shows a single small, domed/rounded cone-like object photographed against a dark, textured background. The surface is light gray/white and appears abraded, with multiple shallow, irregular lines and small raised/etched patches. No distinct human figures, deities, or clear cartouches are legible at this resolution; the markings are consistent with the kind of incised inscription typically found on funerary cones, but the exact signs cannot be reliably read.
