Small blue faience amulet fragment with an incised/raised rectangular face and worn blue glaze surface.
The image shows a small, rounded-rectangular object made of blue faience, photographed against a light background. The surface is heavily worn/abraded, but there are traces of molded or incised detail on the front, suggesting an amuletic inscription or emblem area. No complete cartouche is clearly legible at this resolution; any hieroglyphic strokes are indistinct and cannot be reliably read. No deities or specific royal cartouche text can be confirmed from the visible marks.
