Small turquoise-blue faience amulet in the form of a standing human figure with raised arms.
The object is a compact, vertically oriented faience amulet with a rounded head and a body tapering slightly toward the base. Both sides of the figure show projecting arms/handholds, with the right and left arms extending outward and upward. The surface is covered by a glossy turquoise-blue glaze with darker speckling and pooling in recesses. No clear hieroglyphic, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible on the photographed surfaces, and no distinct iconographic details (e.g., facial features or specific symbol emblems) can be confidently identified beyond the general human-figure silhouette.
