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.

Stone fragment of unknown function; no clear carved crown discs or worked decoration is visible in the provided image.

The image shows a roughly triangular, heavily weathered stone fragment with a coarse, granular surface and multiple pitted areas. There are no clearly discernible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or recognizable iconographic elements (such as the crown discs referenced by the catalogue) on the visible faces. The edges and surface suggest breakage and long-term abrasion, making fine details difficult to assess. The background is plain white, and only this single fragment is shown.

unclear New Kingdom, Amarna Period (per catalogue; details not confirmable from image) fragmentary
