A baked clay funerary cone with incised Egyptian hieroglyphs along one face; the cone is broken/irregular at the top.
The object is a reddish-brown pottery cone photographed against a light background. One end shows a field of incised hieroglyphs arranged in lines/blocks; the signs are partially worn but clearly represent Egyptian script. The opposite end is rounded and uninscribed in the visible view. No clear deities or royal cartouches are legible with certainty from the provided image. A small amount of red pigment is visible near the upper portion, but it is unclear whether it is intentional decoration or residue. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The visible inscription appears to be a personal name and/or offering text typical of funerary cones, but the exact reading cannot be confirmed from this resolution.
