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.
Triangular ceramic/faience fragment bearing dark, blue-black cross-like marks and possible partial hieroglyphic/ornamental incisions on one face.
The image shows a roughly triangular fragment with worn break edges and a mottled surface. On the front face, there are several dark blue-black/gray marks: one central shape resembling a cross with short horizontal arms, and additional smaller cross/star-like motifs clustered near the lower right. Faint linear elements appear near the top edge. No complete royal name, cartouche, or clearly legible hieroglyph sequence is visible at this resolution. The reverse side is not shown, and there is no visible Greek/Coptic/Arabic text. The exact iconography and any deity attribution cannot be confirmed from the fragmentary, non-figurative markings.
