Photograph of a small, curved fragment with incised, parallel horizontal grooves, resembling a decorative tile fragment.
The object appears as an irregular, roughly triangular/arched fragment, light tan to beige in color. The surface is dominated by a shallow relief/design consisting of multiple evenly spaced, curved (arc-like) incised/raised lines running horizontally across the piece. No clear colored glaze or faience surface is visible; instead the fragment looks stone-like or weathered ceramic without discernible inscription. The background is a neutral gray studio backdrop; no additional text, figures, or cartouches are visible. No hieroglyphic, Greek, or Coptic/Arabic text is legible in the image.
