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 oval finger-ring amulet showing an outlined cartouche within an oval bezel, with low-relief sign details on its face.
The image shows a single small Egyptian finger ring/amulet with a rounded-oval setting. The outer border is defined by a raised rim, enclosing an oval field. Inside the field there appear to be vertically arranged sign elements, including a rectangular enclosure/cartouche-like frame at the center with additional stacked characters above and/or around it. The surrounding frame suggests a royal-name cartouche, though the individual hieroglyphs are not clear enough to confidently read the exact king’s name. No other inscriptions, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text are visible. The object surface is dark/gray with a glossy or glazed appearance consistent with faience, and fine casting/relief wear is visible.
