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 fragment of blue-green glazed material, with a worn surface that suggests small molded or incised decorative elements consistent with a votive bracelet fragment.

The image shows a small, horizontally oriented rectangular fragment with rounded edges and extensive surface wear. The dominant surface is turquoise/blue-green with an uneven, mottled glaze and scattered darker accretions. Along the long face, there is a faint linear band or shallow relief near the center that could relate to decorative molding typical of faience votive jewelry, but no clearly readable hieroglyphs, figures, or inscriptions are visible. No distinct cartouches, deity iconography, or other secure markings can be confirmed from this photograph due to abrasion and loss of detail.
