A small, round terracotta funerary cone with an incised rectangular field of hieroglyphs on the front face.
The object appears to be a reddish-brown fired clay/cone form with a rounded tip and a flat-ish back edge. On the front face there is a raised or incised border enclosing a horizontally oriented rectangular panel filled with numerous small hieroglyphic signs. The signs are partially eroded and are not fully legible at this resolution; however, the overall layout strongly suggests an inscription associated with funerary cones. No clear Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No explicit royal cartouches are clearly readable; any specific name cannot be confirmed from the image.
