A small greenish faience amulet figure in the form of a seated/standing deity-like form with a protruding head and open mouth.
The object is a small, vertically oriented molded faience amulet with a human/animal-like head shape. The figure has a large, dark hollow opening at the mouth/face area and a prominent facial contour. The body appears simplified and block-like, with a visible raised band or section across the torso and a recessed perforation/void on the front lower area. No clear offering table or specific hand-held attribute is discernible from this single view. No hieroglyphic text or cartouche is visible, and there are no clearly legible Greek/Coptic/Arabic inscriptions. The surface shows turquoise-green glaze with areas of wear and speckling; the back is not clearly shown for additional iconographic details.
