Small Egyptian-style amulet portraying a standing human figure with raised arms holding a dark, ribbed object, standing on a rectangular base.

The image shows a compact, carved amulet in the form of a human figure (likely male) with a raised right arm and bent left arm. The figure’s head and torso are rendered in light material, while the hair/wig and parts of the arms/garment are in darker tones. The figure holds or supports a dark, horizontally stepped/ribbed element above the head. The body wears a short kilt or skirt in dark color with a lighter waistband; the figure stands on a small rectangular plinth. No clear hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or other inscriptions are visible. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The cataloged material is banded agate; the photo shows strong light/dark banding and carved stone/agate-like coloration, but the image does not allow definitive confirmation of “banded agate” beyond the visible banded coloration.
