A small fragment of a faience amulet shaped like an eye resembling the Egyptian Wadjet/“eye of Horus” form, with one side of the outline preserved.
The image shows a small green-blue faience fragment depicting a stylized eye motif. The upper eyelid and brows are indicated by raised ridges, and the central pupil area is a circular recess with dark fill. Below the eye, a beaded/teardrop-like shaping and curved lower lid are partially preserved. Overall the piece is broken/fragmentary at the right and lower edges, with visible surface wear and small chips. No legible hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or other inscriptions are visible on the fragment itself. The background is a textured dark surface. A separate modern museum label with handwritten numerals/characters is visible beneath the object.
