Small faience plaque depicting three standing figures associated with Isis and Nephthys flanking the child Horus.
The image shows a small, rectangular plaque with raised molded figures in a blue-green faience. Three human-like deities are shown standing frontally in a tight arrangement. The left figure wears an identifiable crown/hat and holds one arm close to the body; the center figure is smaller and is held close to the central figure’s posture consistent with a child divine form; the right figure mirrors the left with a similar headgear. Exact regalia and facial details are worn, but the overall composition matches the common iconography of Isis and Nephthys flanking the child Horus on a protective plaque. No clear hieroglyphs or cartouches are visible on the visible face. Condition appears worn but intact, with surface erosion typical of faience plaques.
