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.
Blue faience cowroid-shaped stamp seal fragment/individual, inscribed with small incised details on one face.
The object is a small, teardrop/oval cowroid stamp-seal form in turquoise-blue faience. The surface shows scattered beige/light accretions or wear marks. On the central field there appear to be shallow incised lines and rounded/boxy marks resembling hieroglyphic signs, but the exact configuration is not fully legible at this resolution. No clear cartouche outline or throne-name determinative can be confidently identified from the image provided. The opposite face is not visible enough to confirm additional iconography. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No legible inscription excerpt can be transcribed reliably.
