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 rounded pottery funerary cone bearing a band of carved hieroglyphs around its surface.
The image shows a single, darkened, rounded cone-like object photographed from above. A circular/arched register of incised hieroglyphic signs runs across the top portion, with additional smaller marks clustered toward the center. The hieroglyphs are worn and partially obscured by surface damage and shadow, making specific sign forms difficult to read confidently. No clear royal cartouche, throne name, or personal name inscriptions (e.g., Amenhotep, Ren) are legible at this resolution.
