Description

Amulet of a deity: amulet in translucent grey-blue glass of a squatting deity facing left. The details of the face are unclear but a falcon appears to be represented and so the amulet is presumably Ra-Harakhty or Horus. The hands rest on the knees and there is a disc on the head. The surface is worn and there are scattered chips.
