Photograph of a carved stone wall/relief fragment showing multiple vertical registers of hieroglyphic signs and remnants of painted color, forming part of a stele-like panel.
The image depicts a roughly rectangular limestone fragment with broken edges on the left and bottom. The surface is carved in relief and organized into vertical bands/registers. There are black/inked outlines of hieroglyphic signs and decorative elements, with some areas retaining paint (dark traces and light/colored residuals). The central portion includes a large vertical column of signs and adjacent smaller blocks to either side, plus a rounded circular element near the middle. A long, curved/diagonal form on the right may belong to a larger hieroglyphic or decorative element. No complete figure or full stele composition is preserved; only a section of the stele/panel is visible.
