Photograph of a small, irregular fragment of carved stone with smooth/flat surfaces and remaining incised/relief edges along one side.

The image shows a broken rectangular block of light-colored stone (grey-white) with worn edges and a chisel-like fracture. One face appears relatively planar and smooth, while the right side retains clustered, angular depressions/relief marks, possibly the remnants of carved decoration or an inscription field; however, individual hieroglyphs are not legible at this resolution. No clear canopic-chest iconography (e.g., protective deities, lid shapes, cartouches) is visible. The fragment lacks any clearly readable modern or ancient text (no Greek/Coptic/Arabic) and no definite hieroglyphic signs can be confidently identified. Overall condition appears fragmentary with weathering/erosion on the fracture surfaces.
