Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
A small, rough mud sealing fragment with an impressed motif/inscription, shown from a close-up view.
The image shows a gray, irregular fragment consistent with a mud sealing. One face bears an impressed design: a central, outlined figure-like form surrounded by additional impressed marks or symbols. The surface is worn and the edges are broken, making individual hieroglyphs difficult to read with confidence. No clearly legible royal titulary, cartouche, or deity determinatives can be confirmed from the visible impressions. No modern labels or non-Egyptian scripts (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) are visible.
