Small cast Egyptian amulet in the form of a standing, human/animal-associated deity figure holding or associated with an emblem; shown against a plain background.
The object appears to be a small, dark green/greenish patinated metal casting, likely copper alloy. It shows a standing figure with a stylized head and elongated body. The upper part has a broad, ribbed or cap-like element over the top (possibly a headdress or attached amulet element). The figure’s arms are rendered in relief; one arm extends outward while the other is bent, and a small projecting detail is visible near the lower body. The base tapers slightly, suggesting an attached stand/footing typical of cast amulets. No clear cartouche or royal name is visible. No legible hieroglyphic text, nor Greek/Coptic/Arabic inscriptions are evident in the image; surface decoration is mostly molded rather than inscribed. The overall form is consistent with a deity-associated amulet, but the specific deity attributes cannot be confirmed from this image alone.
