A small blue faience pendant shaped like a flower/petal rosette with a central perforation for suspension.
The image shows a single, detached pendant made of light-to-medium blue material with a matte glaze. The object is formed as a stylized rosette/flower with multiple rounded petals radiating outward. At the center there is a circular perforation (broken edges visible) suitable for threading or attachment. No painted decoration, figures, or inscriptions are visible on the surface; only minor speckling/irregularities on the glaze suggest wear. The overall form matches the catalog description of a petal-like motif.
