Rectangular fragment of an Egyptian faience object with traces of dark applied decoration resembling painted or inscribed bands and small figures.

The image shows a small, vertically oriented rectangular fragment with rounded edges and a worn, mottled surface typical of fired faience. The front face contains faded dark markings: a broad curved band near the upper portion and a larger, darker shape toward the lower half, with additional small indeterminate marks.
