A turquoise-blue faience amulet shaped like a standing mummiform/associated deity figure with a circular suspension hole at the head level.

The object is a small, flat-backed faience amulet in a turquoise-blue glaze. It depicts a stylized human/ba-like figure in a standing pose with a broad headdress or headpiece; facial features are simplified and partially worn. The figure’s body is rendered with incised/relief lines suggesting a garment or regalia, including curved bands across the torso. A round perforation for suspension is clearly visible near the upper portion of the amulet. No legible hieroglyphic text or inscriptions are apparent in the image, and there are no visible Greek/Coptic/Arabic characters.
