Photograph of the upper portion of an Egyptian cylinder seal made of dark green glazed material, incised with hieroglyphic text and a seated figure or emblem-like motif in light-colored lines.

The object appears as a truncated cylindrical fragment (upper section preserved) with a dark green glazed surface and visible wear/exfoliation at edges. On the surviving face there are incised/raised hieroglyphic elements arranged in vertical columns; the lines are filled with a lighter residue, making the incised signs stand out. A large vertical arrangement includes a prominent sign resembling a seated deity/figure or an emblem with surrounding stacked strokes, plus additional smaller signs to the left and right, suggesting a royal name formula typical of cylinder seals. No clearly readable Amenemhat III cartouche can be confirmed from this image resolution; the individual sign forms are only partially legible. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No modern ink labels are present in the image. The condition is moderate-to-good with glaze loss and abrasion but the main incisions remain visible.
