A small turquoise-blue glazed amulet-shaped figure standing upright, with arms held close to the body and a simplified head/face.
The image shows a single small object photographed against a plain light background. The object has a turquoise/blue-green surface consistent with a glazed ceramic (faience) look, with a simplified human-like figure standing on a rectangular base. The head is rounded with minimal facial features; the figure’s arms are drawn close along the torso. A prominent circular/raised element is visible on the chest/upper torso area. The overall form resembles a figurative amulet rather than an inscribed plaque. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text are visible in the photo, and no cartouche is discernible. The object’s details are weathered but the glazelike coloration and small scale are evident.
