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.
Small green faience amulet fragment/object with a stylized eye form and surrounding protective detailing consistent with a Wadjet-eye and lioness theme.
The image shows a single, small, greenish-blue glazed faience amulet photographed against a dark textured background. The top portion includes molded facial/eye features: a central eye motif is visible within a larger frame, with thick outlines and inner detailing suggesting the Wadjet-eye (right/left eye) representation. Flanking or lower attachments appear as sculpted elements that could relate to a lioness or protective figure, though the full figure is not fully visible due to fragmentation and crop. No legible carved or painted hieroglyphic inscriptions are visible on the object itself or in the image. A separate white label card is present below the object with handwritten-looking numerals reading approximately “3712976” (exact characters unclear).
