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.

Rectangular ceramic/faience-like fragment with partial painted or incised dark motifs and faint marks on one face.

The object appears as a small, roughly rectangular fragment with rounded corners and a weathered surface. One face shows a patch of darker material forming a partial emblem-like motif or figures arranged vertically (including a long vertical element and adjacent curved/double-headed shapes), but most of the design is lost due to breakage and abrasion. No clearly legible hieroglyphs or cartouches can be confidently identified from the image. The reverse/edges are plain and show no obvious text. Given the catalogue description, it is consistent with a fragment of a votive bracelet decorated with colored/black motifs, but the image itself is too fragmentary to confirm the exact bracelet design elements.
