Small rectangular plaque showing a stylized cartouche-like oval and vertical figure-like signs, with decorative feather/wing motifs above and a banded border below.
The object appears as a small, vertically oriented, rectangular faience plaque. The top section has a central oval/circle flanked by repeated fan/feather-like motifs. Beneath this is a cartouche-like field with vertical elements resembling hieroglyphic strokes/signs; the lower portion contains a horizontal band and additional stacked/fragmentary sign-like shapes. The surface shows light-colored fabric/sediment and mottled brownish/cream coloration consistent with weathered or inactivated glaze. No clear full cartouche text for Seti II is legible in the provided image; the cartouche-like arrangement is present but the specific royal name cannot be confirmed from visible details. No other scripts (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) are visible.
