A fragmentary terracotta funerary cone with incised hieroglyphic decoration on one face.
The object is a short, conical/oblong cone shape made of fired clay. One side preserves a cluster of incised lines forming a compact block of hieroglyphs; the signs are weathered and partially obscured by surface loss and abrasions. The opposite end is plain. No painted colorant, metal elements, or attached handles are visible. No royal cartouches are clearly legible from the image; the readable portion appears to be non-royal hieroglyphic text associated with funerary ritual inscriptions. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
