A gray, weathered pottery funerary cone is shown in close-up with an incised hieroglyphic register of text down the face.

The image depicts a single small funerary cone-like object photographed against a light background. The surface is rough and worn, with minor chips and abrasions along the edges. A vertical column of incised hieroglyphs runs down the face; the sign forms are partially eroded but clearly arranged as hieroglyphic text. No legible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic script is visible. No explicit royal cartouche can be confirmed from the photo due to erosion, and no clearly identifiable deity name is fully readable; therefore, identifications beyond “hieroglyphic text present” are limited.
