Small turquoise-blue glazed faience amulet depicting a standing, male/Min-like ithyphallic figure with arms held near the body and a prominent phallus.
The object is a small, upright amulet made of light blue/green glazed faience. It depicts a standing human-like figure with simplified modeling: a rectangular head/upper torso, arms bent and held close to the sides, and a clearly indicated phallus/ithyphallic form. The figure’s body has a narrow waist and rounded legs, with a flat base suitable for standing or mounting. The surface shows light wear and small losses typical of small faience objects; the glaze appears intact in areas with mottling and speckling. No readable hieroglyphs or alphabetic inscriptions are visible on the photograph, and there are no clear cartouches or royal names. The deities identification cannot be confirmed visually beyond the catalogue subject (Min/Amun-Min) because the image does not show definitive textual attributes or distinctive iconographic accessories beyond an ithyphallic male form.
