Limestone relief fragment showing part of vertically arranged incised hieroglyph-like signs on a flat background, with surrounding chipped edges from a larger scene or text field.

The artifact is a roughly rectangular limestone block with a broken, chipped left edge and irregular surfaces at the sides. The main face is smoothed and contains incised, dark-outlined rectangular/vertical sign forms arranged in columns. A prominent U-shaped/ledge-like recess at the lower center resembles the lower portion of a hieroglyph or a structured motif within a relief text column. No clearly identifiable figure (human or divine) is visible; the fragment appears to preserve only part of a larger relief/text panel, likely associated with tomb decoration. The image does not show any clearly preserved paint; surface color variation appears consistent with stone and shadow. No cartouche or royal name is legible from the fragment as photographed.
