Faience inlay tile in the shape of a human torso, shown frontally with painted or incised decorative bands and vertical details below the chest.

The object is a small, irregularly shaped faience tile fragment that depicts the upper body of a person. It is presented front-on, with a white/light ground and dark outlines. The chest/upper torso is shown with a collar-like element and two diagonal lines leading to a central area, suggesting stylized anatomical and garment features. Around the upper portion there are curved and banded decorative elements with black and brownish/red accents. Below the chest, the body narrows and is decorated with multiple vertical striped sections and horizontal bands, resembling a patterned garment panel. No clearly legible carved hieroglyphs, Greek text, Coptic, or Arabic inscriptions are visible on the provided image. No cartouches or royal titulary are identifiable. The image does not allow confident identification of any specific deity attributes; the torso appears generic or garment-focused rather than explicitly divine. The tile’s surface has losses along edges, indicating it is fragmentary but preserves the torso composition.
