Plaque-like faience relief showing three standing figures in Egyptian style, likely a divine triad flanking a central child figure.
The object is a small rectangular block with a molded/raised relief scene. Three male/female-presenting deities are depicted standing side by side against a plain background. All three wear close-fitting headgear with uraeus-like elements or godly headdress forms; each figure has a stylized body with minimal musculature. The left figure holds an implement at the chest/arm level and wears a tall, upright headdress; the central figure is a nude or nude-mode child-like god standing with arms held close to the body and a distinctive head/headdress; the right figure wears similar headdress and holds an object/ornament at chest height. No readable hieroglyphic inscriptions or cartouches are visible on the photographed surfaces, and no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text can be confirmed. The overall surface is turquoise/blue-green with darker areas consistent with old glaze and/or mottling; the modeling and palette are consistent with the catalogued faience material.
