Photograph of an Egyptian funerary cone-shaped object with dense incised hieroglyphic text on its front face.

The artifact appears as a rounded, cone/cylinder-like pottery piece viewed from the front. Its surface is covered by worn but still discernible incised hieroglyphs arranged in several horizontal lines and scattered groups across the face. The hieroglyphs are shallowly carved with minimal background relief; no figures or clear deity iconography are distinctly legible at this resolution. There is visible stratified abrasion and edge wear, consistent with age and handling. No cartouche borders or royal names are clearly readable in the image. No modern labels or non-Egyptian scripts (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) are visible.
