Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

Limestone relief fragment depicting a royal figure in profile with a conical wig and a raised hand, accompanied by hieroglyphic-style elements and traces of colored pigment.

The image shows a rectangular limestone block/relief fragment with rounded edges and two small projecting pegs/tenons on either side (possibly for mounting). The main scene consists of a human figure shown in strict profile facing left, wearing a striped conical/rounded wig or headdress and a head/neckband with colored pigment traces. Below the figure, a smaller figure or emblem-like form is partially preserved. A band of hieroglyph-like marks appears beneath/around the head area, though individual signs are not clear enough to identify confidently. Faint pigment remains (notably reddish/orange and some darker areas) within the carved lines, suggesting the original polychromy. No clearly readable Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. No cartouche or royal name is legible.
