Small Egyptian cylinder seal, green-blue glazed steatite, carved with incised figures/signs in a vertical arrangement on the curved surface.
The image shows a compact, vertically oriented cylinder seal with a dark green/blue glaze covering the surface. The seal’s exterior is decorated with incised imagery and hieroglyphic-like elements, though the photo resolution and angle make specific sign forms difficult to confirm with confidence. No clear cartouche borders, complete royal names, or distinct princess titulary are legible in the provided view. There is no visible modern text or other script (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) on the object; any markings appear to be Egyptian incised signs under the glaze. The object matches the expected general form of a Middle Kingdom cylinder seal, but the individual names attributed in the catalogue are not clearly readable from this image.
