A small glazed faience amulet in the form of a standing female deity figure with a broad wig/hat and a belt-like garment.
The object is photographed front-on against a neutral background. It shows a human-like female figure standing upright on a rectangular base. The head has a rounded headdress/wig and a defined facial area, with arms held down at the sides; the hands appear close to the body. The torso and skirt are modeled in relief with incised/raised details suggesting a patterned garment or belt around the waist and a lower skirt area. The surface is glazed in a pale blue-green/blue tone, consistent with a faience amulet. No clear hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible on the figure or base at this resolution.
