A small faience inlay shows a human-like, seated squatting goddess figure in profile, with characteristic braided/striated hair and a headpiece.

The image depicts a small, light turquoise-green faience object shaped as a standing/squatting female deity in side profile. The figure has a smooth face with arched brows and a calm expression. The hair is rendered with stacked, braided/striated segments across the head and down the sides, and a small, rounded headpiece rests above the hair. The body is simplified but shows the torso and bent arms: one hand appears lifted near the chest/upper body, with the other arm bent forward. A narrow, vertical groove at the back/side suggests the form was made as an inlay element rather than a free-standing sculpture. No clear hieroglyphic inscription, cartouche, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible in the provided view. The surface shows wear and slight discoloration consistent with age and museum handling; fine details like facial lines and hair texture remain visible.
