Blue faience ring fragment shaped like a small rounded bezel/side segment, with worn decorative surface.
The image shows a small, sky-blue faience fragment with a rounded/hemispherical profile. The exterior surface has raised, glossy decoration that has been partially abraded; the central area appears to contain clustered raised elements that could form stylized motifs, but the exact figure/signs are too worn to read reliably. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text are visible. The fragment’s edges and many details are chipped and abraded, suggesting a broken ring element rather than a complete inscription-bearing object.
