AI image analysis GPT-5.4-nano
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.
Small green glass amulet fragment shaped like a seated/generic figurative figure.
The image shows a single small object photographed against a light gray fabric or foam-like background. The object is a green, translucent piece with an incised/relief modelling suggesting a figure or emblem-like form (top appears narrower; lower portion broader). Surface detail is worn/soft, and fine facial or anatomical features are not clearly legible. No borders, suspension loop, or clearly readable inscription is visible in this view. The overall look is consistent with a glass amulet fragment, but the exact iconography (e.g., Baubo) cannot be confirmed from the available detail.
