Photograph of a carved stone fragment showing a smooth, curved rim and a recessed channel, consistent with a portion of a canopic chest. No legible inscription or iconography is visible in this image.
The image shows a single fragment of carved stone with a rounded/convex outer face and a curved inner edge forming a shallow channel or groove. The surface is worn and pitted, with minor chips along the lower edge. There appear to be no clearly readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, figures, or other distinct iconographic elements on the visible faces. The overall shape suggests architectural or container-like construction (e.g., a portion of a chest or lid/chest component).
