Photograph of a small, rounded triangular stone fragment with shallow linear and vertical relief/inscribed markings.
The image shows a light gray/white stone fragment with a roughly triangular outline and rounded top edge. Across the face are several vertical, incised or low-relief grooves/lines, including a central broad vertical element and two to three narrower parallel lines to either side. Near the lower right there is a partial curved form that could be a fragment of a larger motif or hieroglyph but it is too incomplete to identify confidently. No figures, clear cartouches, or legible hieroglyph groupings are visible. The background is plain and the object is lit to emphasize the incisions/relief; no fastening or structural features of a chest are visible in this view. No non-Egyptian scripts (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) are apparent.
