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.
A small, blue-green faience plaque with an incised/painted inscription and a central, vertically oriented motif resembling hieroglyphic signs.
The object is an oval, slightly convex faience plaque with a turquoise/blue-green glaze and scattered darker green/brown encrustation. The front bears a dense arrangement of dark incised or pigment-filled hieroglyphic signs arranged vertically across the center; individual signs are not fully legible from the image resolution. No clearly identifiable cartouche, royal titulary, deity icon, or specific figure is visible beyond the hieroglyphic text itself. The back is not shown. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. Surface wear and glaze loss are present, but the overall form remains intact.
