A vertically oriented carved and lightly painted limestone wall fragment showing rows of figures in profile and registers, with accompanying hieroglyphic text bands near the top and lower sections.

The image shows a tall rectangular wall fragment with rounded edges consistent with breakage. The surface is carved in low relief and includes at least two horizontal register lines. In the upper register, a scene appears to depict offering-related activity: multiple human figures in profile wear short garments and are shown with raised arms toward an offering area. Below, additional registers contain more figures and/or offerings arranged in a structured composition. Hieroglyphic elements are present in horizontal bands, particularly near the upper portion, where wedge-shaped and linear signs are carved. Faint traces of red/brown pigment are visible in some carved areas, consistent with painted relief. No clear royal cartouche(s) or names are legible at this resolution; no identifiable deity iconography (e.g., specific crowns/animal forms or recognizable divine symbols) can be confirmed. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible; only Egyptian hieroglyphic carving is apparent.
