Fragmentary Egyptian decorative element showing part of a winged serpent and an adjacent inscribed cartouche-like panel.

The image depicts a worn, molded stone/faience-like fragment with raised relief. On the left, a looped, coiled form with a ribbed/segmented surface suggests part of a serpent body. In the middle/right, a wing-like feathered motif extends diagonally, consistent with an association of wings to a serpent figure. On the far right there is a rectangular cartouche-like frame containing two vertical columns of hieroglyphic signs in relief, though the individual signs are partially eroded and cannot be securely read from the photograph. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The overall presentation matches a winged-serpent protective/royal inscription style, but due to erosion, specific deities and the exact cartouche text cannot be conclusively identified.
