Rectangular limestone/travertine plaque fragment painted with bands of orange and black pigment and a small painted register at the lower left.

The image shows a narrow, vertically oriented rectangular stone plaque with a smooth surface. Faded orange pigment forms a horizontal band near the top and another at mid-level, while a dark gray/black rectangular patch appears centrally. At the lower area, there is an orange-outlined rectangular shape with several short vertical strokes above it, resembling a partially preserved painted motif or grouping of hieroglyphic signs, though the individual signs are too incomplete to identify confidently. No cartouche or royal titulary is clearly legible, and there is no visible Greek/Coptic/Arabic text. The object’s painted appearance is consistent with a small New Kingdom painted inscription/plaque, but the specific claim of Ramesses IV names on one side and a scribal palette on the other cannot be verified from this single, partial view.
