Amber/orange-red carved plaque showing two uraeus-like serpent figures at the sides and a central vertical element with a small falcon-headed figure above and a band of signs below.
The image presents a small, symmetrical plaque rendered in a reddish orange, glossy material. On the left and right sides are upright, rearing uraeus/serpent forms with arched heads and flared collars, each shown in low relief. Between them, a central rectangular/vertical field contains carved figures that appear to include a falcon-headed (or bird-headed) figure near the top and several stacked or banded elements below. A curved border and a horizontal band across the lower middle are also visible. No clear cartouche shape is visible in the central area from this image resolution; any specific hieroglyphs are not confidently legible. No other script (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) is present.
