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 large, translucent, pale stone blade/knife fragment with a pointed tip and a broad, curved edge profile, shown isolated on a plain background.
The image shows a single worked lithic implement lying horizontally. The object appears to be a long, shallow blade with a pointed left end and a broader right end; the surface shows conchoidal fracture scars and uneven flake/knapping ridges typical of knappable stone. No handle components are visible, and no metal fittings are apparent. The material surface is light-colored (off-white to beige) and semi-translucent in places, consistent with flint or similar stone. There is no visible decoration, no carved figures, and no hieroglyphic inscription or modern text. The object is photographed from one side; lighting emphasizes the curved edge and the knapped faces.
