Black-and-white photograph of a carved stone corner relief showing a standing male figure (likely a king) between/with protective or attendant figures in vertical registers, with surrounding hieroglyphic-like border lines.

The object is a rectangular relief fragment with one corner preserved. Three vertical zones/ranks are visible: on the left, a seated or kneeling person/figure with an arm raised; in the center, a larger standing male wearing a crown and holding a staff-like implement across the body; on the right, a partial figure or column of carved elements with similar arm/hand positions. The stone surface is heavily worn in places, but the relief is clearly hieroglyphic-adjacent in style with incised lines outlining garments, arms, and legs, and border framing lines dividing the composition into registers typical of Egyptian relief. No legible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The background is filled with incised contour lines and register boundaries rather than continuous filled hieroglyphs. A small modern support/stand is visible at the bottom edge of the photo.
