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.

A small green faience plaque or amulet-like object with an incised figure group in relief against a flat back.

The image shows a small, rectangular block of green glazed material with rounded corners. The surface is mostly dark green with lighter green/cream details formed by incised or raised lines. In the center there appears to be a vertically oriented arrangement of three standing forms/figures divided by vertical lines, suggesting a deity grouping. The right and left sides show symmetrical vertical elements, while the central section shows a more complex vertical motif. No surrounding hieroglyphic border or clear cartouches are visible in this photo. The back/edges are not shown, limiting assessment of whether this is a triadic figurine or a panel containing deity imagery.
