A carved limestone relief fragment showing the profile of a woman’s head and upper neck, accompanied by a textured headdress/garment collar with thick, parallel carved bands.
The image depicts a rough-edged limestone relief fragment. On the left, a woman’s profile is shown in side view: the forehead and nose are defined, and the eye is indicated with carved contouring. She wears a ridged headdress or cap rendered as multiple thick, vertical/parallel bands. Below/around the neck and upper shoulder area, a collar or garment is similarly textured with evenly spaced carved grooves and horizontal banding. The right side is less detailed, suggesting the fragment is broken or cropped; no clear background or additional figures are visible. The surface shows weathering/chipping consistent with an older carved piece. No legible hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible in the provided image, and no cartouche is clearly present.
