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.

Small rectangular fragment with turquoise-green glazed surface and abraded edges, photographed against a plain background.

The object appears as a broken section of a thin, blue-green (turquoise) faience piece, likely with glaze corrosion and localized reddish/brown staining from wear or burial. The photographed face shows mottled green glaze with patches of discoloration; no clear decorative motifs, drill holes, or curving bracelet profile are visible in this image. Edges are uneven and chipping indicates fragmentation. No legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other text are visible; no Greek/Coptic/Arabic script is present.

unclear New Kingdom, Ramesside (per catalogue; surface treatment is consistent with faience, but period cannot be confirmed from the image alone) fragmentary
Materials turquoise/blue-green faience glaze
