A fragmentary pottery funerary cone with an incised or impressed design and hieroglyphic text on its flat end.
The image shows a small, cylindrical-to-conical fragment of fired clay or pottery, photographed in three-quarter view against a neutral background. The wide end is turned toward the viewer and contains an incised scene/register of hieroglyphs and possibly a figure or emblem enclosed within a rectangular/arched boundary. The surface is worn with abrasion and partial loss of details, but the inscription-like layout and carved signs are clearly visible on the end face. No modern labels, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic script are visible. No cartouche or royal titulary is clearly legible in the photograph, and any specific deity name cannot be confidently read due to the fragmentary, low-resolution, and worn condition. The object matches the catalogue’s funerary cone format in terms of material and general form, though the exact name Djehuty/First Prophet of Amun is not legible here.
