Fragmentary limestone relief depicting a seated/standing human figure in profile with a wig/hat, alongside a small divinity-like figure on the right and vertical panels of hieroglyph-like marks.

The object is a weathered stone relief fragment. The central figure faces left in profile, with a distinct headpiece/wig and linear incised details. Behind or around the head is a fan-like or radial set of engraved lines suggesting a ceremonial attribute or halo-like motif. The torso and arm are rendered with incised contours and a striped garment detail. To the right edge, a smaller standing figure with a plumed headdress (or crown) and a sign/attribute in front is visible; it appears framed by a vertical border and associated with a narrow register of decorative or inscription-like strokes. On the right background and between figures are vertical bands with short, dense incisions that resemble hieroglyphic sign groupings, but they are too incomplete and eroded to read confidently. No clearly legible cartouche or full royal name is preserved in the visible portion. There is no visible Greek/Coptic/Arabic text. The fragment condition is poor to fragmentary, limiting identification of specific iconographic elements or textual content. Overall, the scene composition is consistent with a Middle Kingdom ritual-style relief, but the excerpt does not preserve enough to confirm the specific royal name “Senwosret I” from the catalogue title.
