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, circular fragment of fired clay bearing molded/inscribed motifs that resemble an amulet-eye form arranged in multiple registers.
The photograph shows a round, thick piece of clay with a weathered, granular surface. Across the center is a relief design made of shallow, horizontal bands and curving lines; the arrangement suggests a multi-part eye-like motif typical of Wadjet/eye amulet molds, with layered elements on top of one another. No clear cartouche or royal name is visible. The edges are worn and irregular, with partial loss of the molded detail. No identifiable Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text appears, and no confidently readable hieroglyph signs are legible at this resolution.
