A round, weathered terracotta funerary object with faint incised relief and lines consistent with hieroglyphic text on its surface.

The image shows a single small, rounded cone or plug-like terracotta artifact photographed against a dark background. The surface is uneven and abraded, with low-relief/incised markings arranged in horizontal bands. The markings appear to be Egyptian hieroglyphs, but due to wear and low contrast only indistinct shapes can be seen; no clearly readable sign list or determinatives can be confidently identified. There is no visible royal cartouche or clear name surrounded by a cartouche outline. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic script is visible. No associated painted decoration is apparent; the visible material color is consistent with unglazed fired clay.
