A small, vertically oriented scaraboid-like amuletic seal with incised and partly glazed decorative elements on a rounded back and a flat base.

The object is viewed from the front against a plain light background. It has a rounded, puffy outline with a flat bottom and a worn edge. The front face contains dark incised/relief motifs that are covered in green-blue glaze in areas, suggesting a glazed steatite object. Central to the face is a stylized, top-and-bottom framed sign arrangement; beneath the top frame are two looped/spiral-like elements and a lower stacked motif that resembles hieroglyphic or pseudo-hieroglyphic ornament. On the lower section there is a rectangular block-like area with an inner cross/vertical division. No clear cartouche, royal throne name, or fully legible inscription is visible at this resolution. There is no clearly identifiable deity figure (human/animal form) on the front; the design appears epigraphic/ornamental typical of scaraboid seals.
