A fragmentary amulet depicting a standing figure, possibly a deity.
The artifact is a small, clay or terracotta amulet of a standing figure that appears to be of a deity or significant figure, characterized by its distinct features despite its fragmentary condition. The surface shows significant wear, with noticeable cracks and chipped areas, suggesting its ancient origin. The figure is roughly shaped, with no visible inscriptions, and stands on a small base, likely for display or ritual use. The craftsmanship appears simplistic, indicating it may originate from a period of less detailed artistic expression.
