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.
Fragmentary, elongated stone implement resembling a sickle insert/blade piece with a notched/serrated edge on one side.
The image shows a small, narrow, vertically oriented fragment of hard, light-colored material (gray-tan with weathering). One long edge preserves a series of small, regularly spaced notches, giving a serrated/dentated profile consistent with a cutting edge. The opposite edge is straighter and smoother. A small red inventory/marking is visible on the left-lower portion of the object; no carved or painted ancient hieroglyphs are clearly visible on the artifact itself. No identifiable figures, iconography, or cartouches are present.
