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.
Relief-carved limestone fragment showing the upper body and a raised hand holding a small object or symbol; the face and details are weathered and partially lost.
The image depicts a broken fragment of a relief plaque made of light-colored stone (consistent with limestone). In relief, a seated or standing child-sized figure is suggested by the proportion of the head and torso. One arm is raised with the hand open or pinched around a small element, while the other arm/shoulder area is partially obscured by breaks. The head and facial features are too worn to identify specific iconographic attributes (e.g., distinct crowns, sidelock patterns, or clear youth-god features) with confidence. The background field is plain, with no clearly legible hieroglyphs visible in the photographed face of the object; any inscription may be on the reverse, but the provided image does not show the reverse inscription area. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
