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 dark-green object photographed against a grey textured background; it appears to be a tiny molded figurative amulet with a seated/standing deity-like form.
The image shows a single small, dark green glass-like amulet centered in the frame. The figure is roughly human-like, with a compact torso and a raised head/upper body detail; it appears seated or posed with arms close to the body, though fine facial features and attributes are too blurred to identify reliably. There are no clearly legible hieroglyphs or other script visible, and no cartouche-like framing is discernible. No additional objects, mounting, or inscriptions are visible. The overall appearance is consistent with a small molded glass amulet with a figurative religious motif, but the specific identity of the depicted figure cannot be confirmed from this image alone.
