A fragment of a glazed faience tile showing two adjacent vertical bordered fields with traces of painted/relief Egyptian motifs in dark green and black on a lighter ground.

The object is a small, broken rectangular tile fragment with a curved right edge. Its surface is glazed and colored light green to grey with darker green/brown patches from wear. Along the front face, there appear two recessed/outlined vertical panels bordered by thick bands, each containing stacked forms resembling stylized architectural or ceremonial motifs. In the left panel, the central area shows a rounded or cartouche-like vertical emblem above a horizontal band; in the right panel, similar stacked elements are visible beneath a darker upper section. Small specks and streaks of dark pigment/glaze loss are present across the exterior. No clearly readable complete hieroglyphic phrase, royal name cartouche, or deity determinative can be confirmed from the visible fragments. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The background is uniform enough to indicate tile glazing consistent with the museum catalogue, though the precise painted content is too incomplete for secure identification.
