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, rectangular fragment of a blue-green faience object with portions of dark brown painted or incised horizontal bands and a short curved element resembling a hieroglyphic sign fragment.
The image shows a flat, rectangular piece with rounded edges and a light turquoise/blue-green surface typical of faience. The surface includes multiple areas of reddish-brown staining or weathering. On the center-lower portion there is a clustered set of dark brown marks: two roughly horizontal bands with a short vertical or angled stroke near the center, and adjacent to them a small curved, hook-like element above. The marks appear to be either painted hieroglyphic decoration or incised/pseudo-incised lines that have darkened. No clearly readable full hieroglyphs or any royal cartouche are visible. The fragment is too small and worn to confidently identify a specific votive bracelet motif or deity. No modern labels or non-Egyptian scripts are visible.
