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 amulet shaped like a nude female figure seated on a throne, with an elaborate headdress/head element resembling Hathor’s iconography.
The image shows a single object photographed against a neutral gray background. The amulet is a small, vertically oriented molded figure: a nude standing/seated female form with a broad, throne-like base. She wears a tall, ornate headpiece; facial features are worn but include a defined head/face with a central element across the brow or face. The overall modeling and subject styling suggest an enthroned female goddess figure, consistent with Hathor in some amulet types, though the exact finer details of the headdress (e.g., specific cow horns/ears) are not clearly discernible due to wear and image resolution. No surrounding hieroglyphs or cartouches are visible on the photographed sides. The surface is translucent/porous in appearance, typical of faience.
