Ancient Egyptian inscribed Akhenaten cartouche fragment from Amarna dated 1350 – 1325 BC

A red quartzite fragment with hieroglyphs in sunk relief. Three columns of text, the middle of which bears the top half of a cartouche, and the right hand side shows signs of cutting back and over carving, probably over the word ‘hmt’. Above the texy there appears to be the original edge of the text, as it drops down to a lower surface above.
