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 shaped like a curved rib/arched plaque with rounded ends, photographed against a plain background.
The image shows a single, small turquoise-blue artifact with an overall curved, rib-like outline and a slightly thicker midsection that tapers toward one end. The surface appears glazed with speckled/porous texture consistent with faience; the edges are irregular but molded rather than broken flat. No figures, deities, or legible hieroglyphic carving are visible on the front face in this photograph. No cartouche or royal name is apparent. The object is photographed alone, centered, with no accompanying text or labels in frame.
