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 dark blue/green faience amulet shaped like an Isis-knot (a stylized belt/knot form).
The image shows a single molded amulet photographed against a light background. The top consists of a rounded, bulging form tapering slightly upward, connected to a vertical central element that widens toward the bottom into a skirt-like shape. On the front, shallow molded lines suggest a central seam and two vertical ridges or folds on either side. No clear hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or additional iconography is visible. The surface appears worn with small pits/roughness typical of small faience objects. The overall silhouette matches the common Isis-knot amulet form; however, the exact inscriptions are not visible/none are apparent.
