Small gold Egyptian amulet depicting a seated female form associated with Taweret, shown in profile with a stylized body and protective/amuletic iconography.

The image shows a small, rectangular gold sheet amulet with a raised repoussé figure on one face. The figure appears female and is shown in profile (facing to the left), with a large wig/headform, a stylized torso, and legs indicated with simplified contours. A prominent curving element near the abdomen/hip area suggests an intentional symbolic form. No surrounding cartouches or clear hieroglyph groups are visible on the gold surface in this photograph. There is no readable Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text. The background is a gray fabric or support material; the amulet itself is clearly gold-colored with an uneven edge consistent with a cast/hammered foil or thin sheet construction. The catalogue identifies it as a “Taweret Amulet”; the depicted female, hippopotamus-associated style is consistent at a general level, though specific Taweret attributes (e.g., explicit crocodile/hippo head details) are not sharply identifiable in this resolution. No royal names are present.
