A small, translucent shell pendant fragment bearing a recessed cartouche-like enclosure with a hieroglyphic figure at its center.
The image shows a curved, irregular shell piece (likely a pendant or inlay) with a light yellow-beige surface. In the upper central area there is a bordered, cartouche-like rectangular enclosure carved in outline, containing a small vertical form resembling a column of hieroglyphic elements. The surrounding surface is worn with visible pitting/scuffs and minor edge losses; no attachment loop or suspension element is clearly visible in this view. No modern labels or additional scripts are present.
