Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

A small turquoise-blue faience amulet depicting a standing female figure with a raised arm/body posture, likely intended to represent a protective goddess such as Taweret.

The image shows a single, freestanding small amulet made of light turquoise-blue material consistent with faience. The object is roughly rectangular at the top with a raised, rounded head-like area, and a standing human/animal-leaning form below. The figure’s body has incised/raised linear details along the torso, suggesting stylized limbs or folds of a garment. The front surface is weathered with scattered red-orange inclusions/paint traces and overall pitting consistent with aging. No clearly readable hieroglyphs or other script are visible on the amulet in this photo. No cartouche or royal name is present or discernible. The visible iconography (female-like standing figure) is compatible with a Taweret-type protective amulet, but the specific features (e.g., clearly identifiable crocodile/hippo attributes) are not unambiguous from this image, so the deity identification is tentative based on the catalog title.
