A round stone jar lid with a weathered surface and faint incised markings resembling shallow incised lines.
The object is a circular, flat-topped piece with a slightly thick perimeter, photographed from above. The surface is worn and stained, making fine details difficult to read. Near the lower-left to lower-center portion there are faint incised linear elements that curve outward, followed by a set of radial or fan-like lines spreading toward the right side. The incisions are shallow and do not form clearly legible hieroglyphs in this image. No cartouche or royal inscription is clearly visible. No painted decoration or metal elements can be confirmed. Overall appearance and material look consistent with a stone lid, though the exact type of stone and any remaining edge-forming features are not fully determinable from the photo.
