Small glazed faience amulet shaped like a standing female figure with a striding/waist-length body, shown in a brownish surface with worn highlights.
The image shows a small, vertical, human-shaped amulet photographed against a white background. The figure stands upright with arms held close to the body (one bent/raised toward the chest) and legs together; the surface is mottled and worn, with visible glaze/ceramic texture. No clearly defined Egyptian attributes (e.g., hippopotamus head, distinctive crown, or clear hieroglyphic or symbol elements) are sharply legible from this view. There are no visible cartouches or any grouped inscribed hieroglyphs. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
