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 greenish faience plaque depicts a row of standing figures in relief, likely related to an Isis–Child Horus–Nephthys protective composition, with no clearly readable text.
The image shows a compact, rectangular plaque with rounded vertical edges and a green glazed surface consistent with faience. In low relief, several human/standing deity-like figures are arranged facing forward in a vertical register. The outer figures wear patterned headgear or tall headdresses; one central figure is larger and flanked by two similar figures, suggesting a triadic or grouping commonly used in amuletic plaques. The background is plain and uninscribed details are limited by resolution and lighting. No Greek, Coptic, Arabic, or clearly legible hieroglyphic inscription is visible in this photograph, though there are contour lines and decorative marks around the figures.
