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.

Small green-blue stone amulet shaped like a seated human/figurine form with a bent leg and arms/hand held close to the body.

The image shows a single small sculpted amulet on a neutral grey background. The object appears carved in a turquoise/green-blue stone with natural mottling and wear. The form is a stylized standing or seated figure: one knee is bent and raised slightly, the torso is upright, and the head/upper body is simplified with a rounded face and short, rounded headdress/feature (details are worn). The arms are held close to the torso; the lower body becomes a flattened base. No clear incised hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible on the figure in this image, and no separate attachment element (e.g., suspension loop) is clearly discernible from this angle. No definite deity attributes can be securely identified from the worn, non-textual imagery; therefore the specific dedication suggested by the catalogue cannot be confirmed visually.
