Photograph of a broken fragment of an Egyptian stone chest with relief-carved vertical decorative bands; detailed inscriptions are too fragmentary to read clearly.

The image shows two joined stone pieces forming part of a larger object. The surface is light-colored (stone) and bears shallow relief carving or incised ornament in vertical registers, with remnants of circular/oval forms and wing-like or panel-like outlines on the right portion. Several small dark marks and weathering/abrasion obscure any fine details. No legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or distinct iconographic figures (e.g., specific deities) are clearly identifiable at this resolution and condition. The overall form and carving style are consistent with carved stone components of funerary equipment such as a canopic chest, but the photograph alone does not allow confirmation of Queen Tiya specifically.
