Ancient Egyptian jar sealing fragment from Amarna dated 1550 – 1069 BC

One of three pieces of dried mud, which join together. Thought to be a jar sealing, with an impressed inscription on the top. All that is visible of this, is what may be the top of the White crown of Upper Egypt. There appears to be no rim impression on under side, though the mud has quite a few straw inclusions and voids from straw.
