A small faience object resembling an amulet or container.
The object appears to be crafted from faience and has a rectangular shape with a slightly hollowed top, possibly intended as an amulet or a small container. The turquoise glaze is typical of Egyptian faience, giving it a bright blue-green appearance. There are subtle vertical ridges suggesting stylistic decoration, and what appears to be remnants of hieroglyphs, though not easily readable.
