A small rectangular blue faience plaque inscribed with a dark motif resembling an Egyptian hieroglyphic sign or possibly a stylized offering/basket form within a recessed border.

The object is a glossy turquoise-blue faience piece shaped as a rectangle with an inner recessed field bordered by a raised rim. In the center is a dark, incised/painted design: it includes a vertical element with what looks like a clustered or star-like mark above, and a horizontal band near the bottom made of multiple small strokes or dots. Beneath the central motif is a horizontal element that resembles a hieroglyphic line/sign. No legible royal cartouche, Greek, or Coptic/Arabic text is clearly visible in the image provided. The surface shows small pits/abrasions consistent with age or loss, with a faint discoloration at one edge. Overall the inscription/signs are present but not clear enough to identify specific determinatives or names with confidence.
