A small blue faience figurine-like amulet shaped like a human/animal-bodied “Son of Horus” figure, shown frontally on a plain background.
The object appears as a vertical, narrow, blue faience piece with a stylized head at the top and a human-like torso/standing pose. The head has a rounded crown-like element and facial features are simplified due to wear. Mid-torso ornamentation includes a curved band and several incised transverse lines suggesting a headdress/garment pleats. At the bottom there is a flat end with a single drilled perforation for suspension (consistent with an amulet meant to hang on a bead net). No readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other inscriptions are visible in the provided image. The piece is intact but slightly worn at the edges and surface, with speckling typical of faience fabrication.
