Painted fragment depicting a seated/standing winged bird-like figure in profile, surrounded by architectural and painted decorative borders and an arched shrine-like element below.

The image shows a square/rectangular painted surface bordered by vertical greenish stripes and surrounding architectural framing. In the upper left is a pale circular disc. In the central/right field is a bird in profile with a long neck and a hooked beak, colored in light tan/cream with darker outlining; it stands or sits with one or more legs visible near the lower middle. Below the bird is an arched niche or recess with a green rim and yellow/orange interior, containing a small, light-colored block/altar-like element. At the very top is a band resembling an architectural frieze or panel with alternating colored blocks (including blue, yellow, red) suggesting painted ornamentation rather than carved inscription. No legible hieroglyphic signs, cartouches, or text appear clearly in the provided image. The overall appearance is consistent with a drawn/painted reconstruction or depiction, with a strong emphasis on iconography rather than readable writing.
