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 gold amulet shaped like an eye (associated with the Wadjet/“Wadjet-eye”), shown in close-up against a plain background.
The image shows a single, flat, cast-gold object viewed from the front. The form is an outlined eye with an arched upper lid, a defined almond-shaped opening, and a prominent brow/upper ridge. Inside the eye there are raised details suggesting the pupil/iris, with a stylized, slightly recessed lower lid. The amulet has a simplified profile and a smooth, reflective surface with visible casting seams or tool marks along the edges. No clear hieroglyphic inscription or cartouche is visible on the object itself. No additional text is present in the image (no Greek/Coptic/Arabic). The object conforms in general to an eye-amulet silhouette consistent with a Wadjet-eye amulet, though the image does not provide enough detail to verify specific inscriptional or iconographic attributes beyond the eye form.
