A small blue faience plaque fragment/piece with a raised, molded bird-like silhouette (beak/body profile) on one face.

The object appears as a small, thick, rectangular-to-oval faience piece in bright blue. One surface shows a raised molded design resembling a bird: a curved head/beak-like projection toward one side and a broader body area, with internal raised contours that suggest feathering or stylized plumage. The edges are worn and irregular, and the surface has pitting/abrasion consistent with age or excavation wear; no clearly legible incision/painted linework is visible beyond the molded relief. No clear hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or additional iconographic elements are readable in the provided image. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
