A small fragment of an Egyptian stone jar or alabaster-like vessel with painted or inked markings, including green and black bands and a partial red number or label.
The image shows a roughly triangular/irregular stone fragment with a light, translucent beige to pale yellow surface. Across the face are dark green/black painted bands and strokes forming at least two broad horizontal/diagonal lines, plus a vertical thick black element near the upper portion. On the left edge there is a small red marking resembling a painted number or inventory/production note; the exact characters are not fully legible. No complete hieroglyphic sequence, cartouche, deity figure, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is clearly visible. The surface appearance is consistent with a hard stone (alabaster/travertine-like), matching the catalogue’s description, though the photo does not allow definitive confirmation beyond “stone with pigment/ink markings.”
