A small blue faience Egyptian amulet shaped like a standing figure with a broad collar or arms and an arch/umbrella-like top.

The object is a small, rounded blue faience amulet photographed against a light background. Its front face shows a human-form standing figure or stylized deity/amulet figure with a tall central vertical element (possibly a staff or spine-like sign), two flanking raised/wing-like or arm-like shapes, and a dark blue/black inlaid or worn central contour line. At the top there is an arch-like loop/halo form with a small central dark spot. The surface is worn and pitted, with losses that obscure fine details. No clearly legible hieroglyphic inscriptions, royal cartouches, or foreign scripts are visible in the provided image.
