A small, irregular grey-brown clay sealing fragment with two recessed stamp impressions on one face and a rounded knob-like area above.
The object appears to be a broken piece of mud/clay, photographed against a plain light background. One side shows two main circular/recessed areas: an upper rounded protrusion/knob and a larger lower depression containing faint incised/raised patterning that could relate to the sealing’s stamps. The surface has cracking and granular texture consistent with fired or dried mud. A red handwritten inventory number-like marking is visible on the upper-left of the face (reads approximately “178.82”), not an ancient inscription. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text are visible, and no deities or royal names can be securely identified from the stamp impressions.
