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.
A small carved stone amulet shaped like a stylized eye with a surrounding frame, consistent with an Eye of Horus (Wedjat) type.
The image shows a close, studio-style photograph of a compact amulet carved in a dark gray stone with lighter speckling. The object’s form is an elongated, almond-like eye shape with a raised outer border and internal divisions that resemble the stylized Wedjat eye (a protective eye motif). The left end is thicker with a projecting curved element, while the right end narrows into the eye shape; the overall silhouette reads as an eye amulet rather than a fully three-dimensional figure. No clear drilled suspension hole, backing plate, or additional iconography is visible from this angle. The surface is weathered/pitted with minor chips along edges, but the main outline remains intact. No legible hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible on the piece or in the photograph.
