Oblique view of a painted limestone wall fragment showing part of a male figure in profile with raised arms and a partial headpiece; adjacent register-like space includes partial black-painted marks resembling hieroglyphs or decorative signs.

The object is a trapezoidal/irregular fragment of limestone with visible painted surfaces. On the left and center, the profile of a male figure is preserved: the face is in profile with a hat/hood-like head covering and a visible ear. The arms appear raised, extending to either side of the figure’s upper body, consistent with a raised-arm pose. The right-hand area contains black-painted sign-like elements arranged in a small field, but the fragmentary condition prevents confident reading. Several edges and breaks are visible, and the paint is largely faded in places but still discernible on the body and in the sign field. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible; only possible Egyptian hieroglyphic/decorative painting is present but not legible as a specific inscription.
