A small fragment of a turquoise-blue faience tile with a partial cartouche-like oval/loop motif and blackish incised or painted linework.

The object is a broken, irregular piece with a turquoise-blue surface and an exposed reddish-brown ceramic body underneath. On the visible face there are traces of dark (black or very dark green/blue) linework and a partial rounded/oval element, resembling part of a royal cartouche or decorative enclosure, though most of the inscription is missing due to fragmentation. No complete cartouche text is visible, and there are no clearly identifiable deity figures. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is present; only possible Egyptian hieroglyphic/cartouche elements are suggested by the surviving outline and adjacent lines.
