Small turquoise-blue faience amulet shaped as a seated/standing dwarf-like male figure with a bald head and incised facial features.
The object is a small, rounded faience figure with a blue-green glaze and darker mottling. It depicts a nude/torsoed male deity-like dwarf figure with a large head, downcast eyes, arched brows, and a short beard or chin ornament indicated by incised lines. The figure’s arms are lifted near the sides with clenched hands, and the legs are bent/held close, ending in small feet. No legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or alphabetic text are visible on the image. The surface shows typical ceramic/glas fine pitting and a slightly worn base edge consistent with an amulet.
