A small turquoise-blue faience figurine fragment depicting a creature-like form with a lion/griffin-style head and stylized facial features, shown in three-quarter view.

The object appears as a sculpted, glazed turquoise-blue faience figure. The front shows a head with a strong brow and nose area, large eyes rendered in raised/etched form, and a projecting mane-like or wing/crest element along the sides. A vertical back element suggests the figure originally stood upright. Surviving surface details include an arched crest over the head and incised lines marking features; a faint inscribed band-like area with small strokes is visible near the lower section, but no fully legible hieroglyphic sequence can be confirmed from the image. No cartouches or royal titulary are visible. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is present. The condition is worn/chipped, particularly at the extremities and along edges, with some greenish/blue glaze loss revealing underlying material.
