Small green faience amulet depicting a composite deity figure in a standing striding pose, with one arm raised toward the head and a circular perforation near the top.
The image shows a miniature, human/animal-composite deity amulet modeled in a greenish glaze. The figure appears to be seated low or crouched/standing on a compact base, with a forward-leaning posture. One arm is lifted near the upper torso/head area, and the head has an animal-like form (details are not fully clear at this resolution). Near the top of the figure, there is a circular hole/perforation consistent with suspension/attachment. No legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other text are visible in the photograph, and no clear inscriptions are present on the surface.
