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.

The image shows a photographed drawing of a broken Egyptian stone column fragment with an inked-out top view and a lower elevation drawing that includes faint carved surface details and a small hieroglyphic-like motif.

A large, rounded/irregular fragment of a rectangular stone column is depicted in outline from above (top view) and in elevation from the side. In the top view, the surface is plain and light-colored with no clearly legible carved text or figures visible at this scale. The elevation at the bottom shows the fragment’s banded/striated edges and a small recessed central cartouche-like or sign-containing panel area, but the individual hieroglyphs are too unclear to read reliably from the provided image. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The overall depiction is consistent with a limestone column element from the Middle Kingdom, but the specific royal name Amenemhat I is not legible in the image.
