Rectangular fragment of a small faience object decorated with incised/drawn motifs resembling hieroglyphic-like figures and possibly a stylized emblem.
The image shows a small, thick, rectangular fragment with worn surfaces. The decoration consists of darkened, outline-like markings on the face: one larger rounded figure in the center and smaller geometric/rounded signs near it, including a box-like element at the lower left and a small circular/loop-like sign at the right. The marks are not clearly readable as specific hieroglyphs from this single view and lighting; they more closely resemble incised or painted signwork on a colored (brown/tan) ground. No clearly identifiable royal cartouche or deity figure is visible. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic script is present. The background is neutral and there are no additional contextual features. Condition appears fragmentary with surface abrasion and fading of the dark decoration.
