Stone jar fragment with incised/relief hieroglyphic decoration and column-like text on a vertical panel.
The image shows a broken, roughly rectangular upper portion of a stone vessel (jar fragment). The surface is light-colored and worn, with a prominent vertical register containing carved hieroglyphs. On the left side of the panel there are stacked signs including elements resembling seated figures or throne/back-rest forms, and on the lower portion a human-figure-like sign and additional vertical strokes are visible. The right edge of the panel is bounded by a vertical line, and horizontal dividing lines appear across parts of the text panel. No cartouche framing is clearly legible, and the inscription is incomplete due to breakage. The object is displayed on a dark background with a small metal stand that holds the fragment.
