Photograph of a broken stone fragment showing weathered carved markings on a light gray/white surface.
The image shows a single, roughly triangular/irregular fragment of pale stone (likely carved) photographed against a light background. The surface is heavily worn and scuffed, with several small dark marks and possible traces of incised details near the center-left; however, the marks are too degraded to confidently identify as hieroglyphs or any specific decorative program. No complete figure, cartouche, or legible text is visible. The overall form and material appearance are consistent with a small architectural/inscribed component fragment, but the photograph provides insufficient detail to confirm it as part of a canopic chest specifically.
