Small orange-red and yellow figurine-like amulet fragment, resembling a bundled/formed amuletic object with a small protruding element.
The image shows a small, glossy amulet carved in two-tone orange-red and yellow/orange material. The form is figurative/abstract: a rounded orange upper portion with an opening or notch at the top, a broader orange section below, and a lighter yellow part extending to the left and right like a small secondary piece. A pointed protrusion projects downward from the right side. No clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible, and no attached cord or wrapping is clearly shown; the object appears standalone and is photographed against a plain light background.
