Photograph of a small, cylindrical/rounded funerary cone made of fired clay, with a rounded end bearing an incised painted hieroglyphic inscription.
The object appears as a tapered ceramic cone or wedge with one end slightly flattened. The front (left) end shows a tightly framed rectangular/arched hieroglyphic sign area filled with multiple incised signs filled with dark material, and a small vertical column of text-like signs below/within the frame. The surface is light brown to buff clay with areas of erosion and rough handling marks. No clearly readable names or royal cartouches can be confirmed from this image alone. No other inscriptions in Greek, Coptic, or Arabic are visible.
