Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
A small, blue faience object photographed against a neutral gray background; the form appears animal-shaped or plaque-like but lacks clearly visible carved surface details in this image.
The image shows a turquoise-blue, glossy faience fragment/object with an oval-to-teardrop silhouette. The surface has mottled highlights and some darker speckling, with no clearly legible hieroglyphs, inscriptions, or clear relief outlines of an ox body visible at this resolution. Edges are rounded and the object appears worn, suggesting breakage or surface loss. No distinct figures of deities or royal regalia (e.g., cartouches) can be confidently identified from the provided view.
