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 weathered, cone-/plug-shaped fragment of light-colored pottery with worn engraved surface, photographed against a plain background.

The image shows a compact, roughly conical or plug-like object with a thick light-gray fabric surface consistent with pottery. Large areas of the surface are abraded, making any carved or incised decoration difficult to read; faint, low-relief or incised strokes can be seen across the face but do not resolve into clearly identifiable hieroglyphs. No distinct painted pigments are visible. The object appears broken or chipped along one edge, with irregular margins and heavy weathering, suggesting fragmentary condition. There is no legible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text, and no clear royal cartouche or deity figure can be confidently identified from the available detail.
