Small oval green-glazed faience scarab showing a figure-like motif with a cobra/serpent form above and a seated standing animal/creature in front.
The artifact appears as a flat-backed, oval scarab amulet with an incised/relief design on the top. The glaze is light green with darker brownish lines for the carved figures. A snake/cobra-like element is visible in the upper register, including a circular disc-like feature near the top. Below, a seated or crouching animal-like form (possibly a crocodile-like figure) faces right, with a curved base line suggesting a ground or platform. No clear cartouche or royal titulary is visible. There is no legible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text. If hieroglyphs are present, they are not clear enough to identify specific signs reliably; only the motif rendering is discernible.
