Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
A small gold conical pendant with a triangular cap and a fringe of tiny suspended elements, shown with an attached wire loop.
The image shows a compact, gold object on a light gray textile background. The main form is a pointed, conical/umbrella-like cap with a dark (possibly blackened) surface and small linear marks along the visible faces, giving it a patterned or inscribed appearance. Along the lower edge of the cone, there is a short fringe of small, bead-like or chain-like components hanging downward. On the top of the cone there is a wire loop/attachment element extending upward and slightly to the side, consistent with suspension or attachment to an earring/pendant mount. To the right, a rectangular museum label is visible with handwritten ink text; it includes a number-like string that appears to read "537697" (last digits unclear). No clear royal cartouche or specific deity iconography can be confidently identified from the photograph. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible beyond the modern museum label.
