Blue glazed faience pectoral shaped like a winged goddess with outstretched wings and a central figure holding a staff-like element.
The image shows a small, horizontally oriented pectoral made of bright blue material with raised, incised striping. The central motif consists of a seated/standing figure with a narrow torso and a head surmounted by a small upright element; the goddess’s wings extend left and right, each wing filled with dense, parallel linear grooves. Beneath the central body, a small projecting form suggests a belt or lower garment. The surface has molded/recessed decorative detailing and darkened incised lines, consistent with faience work and blue glaze. No legible hieroglyphic text or other scripts (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) are visible in the provided image.
