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.

Blue glazed/stone amulet depicting a seated/standing female deity holding or associated with a bird-like figure, with a suspension hole at the top.

The object is a small blue amulet with a single circular perforation at the upper portion, indicating it was intended to be worn or suspended. The figure appears in a frontal view: a larger human-like figure with arms drawn close and a second, smaller form to the right (possibly a bird or associated divine symbol). The base is flat, and the surface shows mottled blue coloration consistent with a lapis-lazuli-like material or blue glaze. No clear cartouche or formal hieroglyphic column is visible on the front; only the museum accession/label text in red appears at the bottom. Deity identification as Isis and Horus is plausible by the catalogue’s subject and the iconographic pairing, but the image details are not clear enough to confidently name specific divine attributes beyond “Isis/Horus” per the catalogue.
