Small rectangular faience fragment decorated with colored/inked design elements, including a stylized figure with surrounding marks and a banded motif.

The object is a small, roughly rectangular piece with rounded corners, showing a greenish faience body with areas of dark brown/black decorative paint or inlay. The top portion contains a curved, mouth-like or facial element with a line of small marks beneath it, and the upper corners have dark patches. Across the middle is a horizontal band pattern (multiple stripes). In the lower section there is a seated/standing human-like or deity-like figure or symbol with an angular headdress or head shape, flanked by small dot-like elements; above the figure are several short vertical strokes. No clearly legible hieroglyphs or cartouches are visible, and there is no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text.
