A small blue faience figurine depicting a child deity.
The figurine is made of faience, a glazed non-clay ceramic material, and depicts a youthful figure believed to be a child deity, characterized by a finger-to-mouth gesture. This style is commonly associated with figures like Harpocrates or other child gods in ancient Egyptian art. The surface is smooth, and the blue glaze is largely intact, giving it an overall vibrant appearance.
