Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

A small, irregular chunk of sun-dried mud bearing the impressed remains of a stamp/seal with faint raised/inked impressions resembling hieroglyphic signs and a throne-name cartouche area.

The image shows a grey, irregularly shaped fragment consistent with sun-dried mud. One face preserves an impressed rectangular/oval sealing field, within which there are clusters of incised or pressed lines that resemble hieroglyphic signs (some grouped at the center and a more complex cluster toward the lower area). No clear deity iconography is identifiable from the visible marks. A distinct royal cartouche outline is not fully legible in the photo; the impressed character-like shapes could relate to a throne name, but the specific signs are too unclear to confidently read as Thutmose IV’s cartouche. No additional Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No inscription surface line-by-line is clearly readable; only partial sign shapes are present. Overall, the artifact appears to match a New Kingdom administrative document sealing with an official stamp, though the exact throne name cannot be securely extracted from this image alone.
