A small turquoise-blue faience bowl rim/base fragment decorated with painted or inlaid linear and motif elements, including a bird-like or fish-like figure.

The image shows a detached fragment of a small bowl made of blue turquoise faience. The surviving curved edge suggests it comes from the rim or lower body of a bowl. Decoration consists of dark, blackish painted linework forming geometric/register-like bands around the middle of the fragment. On the lower right portion there is a stylized animal/figure with an eye and body outline that resembles a fish or bird; above it, additional radiating or feather/scale-like strokes and a segmented triangular/arched motif appear. No cartouche or explicit royal titulary is visible. The surface is partially worn, and there are chips along the rim. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. Hieroglyphic signs cannot be confirmed from the visible lines with certainty; some elements could be non-text decorative iconography.
