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.

Small, weathered, arch/standing-shaped wooden inlay fragment with dark and bluish residues in recessed areas that may once have held pigments or inlay materials.

The object is photographed against a plain white background. It appears roughly cartouche-like in profile (tapering at the top and wider at the bottom), with a rounded upper end and a flatter base. The surface is heavily worn and darkened, with several recessed grooves/areas where colored substance remains: notably two small bluish patches near the upper/middle portion and additional dark outlines around carved channels. No clear, fully legible hieroglyphs or a complete cartouche formula are visible at this resolution; any former incised lines are too eroded to reliably transcribe. No additional inscriptions in Greek, Coptic, or Arabic are visible.
