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.

A roughly rectangular block of mud showing stamped incised shapes that resemble vertical hieroglyphic cartouche-like forms.

The object appears to be a small, irregularly squared mud-brick/stamp impression with a rough, granular surface and rounded edges from firing or drying. One face has prominent, shallow relief/stamping marks arranged in a roughly rectangular area, including two tall vertical bands and curved/rectangular elements that could correspond to hieroglyphic or cartouche components. A thin reddish patch is visible near the lower left edge, likely from pigment/clay contamination. No clear throne cartouches for Aakheperkare (Thutmose I) or Maatkare (Hatshepsut) can be reliably read from the provided image due to worn/ambiguous impressions and lack of clearly legible sign details. No figures of deities or royal regalia are visible—only stamped inscriptions/sign forms. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
