A small turquoise-blue faience dish fragment with a central black-painted shield-like cartouche containing an Egyptian motif, framed by vertical elements.
The image shows a round, shallow vessel/dish with a glossy turquoise-blue outer glaze and lighter wear/abraded areas. In the center there is black painted decoration forming a rectangular cartouche-like frame or panel with a small emblem near the top (including two tall vertical strokes resembling a sign) and a seated or standing figure-like motif within. The lower portion shows an additional black sign resembling a vertical stroke or hooked element. No clear full throne-name cartouche or surrounding royal titulary is fully legible at this resolution. No additional inscriptions, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text are visible.
