A rectangular piece of mud brick with an impressed stamp/block showing a figure-like framed scene filled with weathered hieroglyphic or decorative signs.
The object appears as a mud brick fragment with a flat, roughly rectangular face. Centered on the face is a recessed, impressed design: a bordered rectangle framing a vertical, human-figure-like form and several smaller sign elements above and around it. The surface is cracked and uneven, with areas of loss that make individual signs hard to read. No clear royal cartouches are legible at this resolution; the stamped marks are present but their exact reading is unclear. The sides show rough brick texture consistent with mud brick. No modern labels or non-hieroglyphic scripts (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) are visible.
