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 blue-purple glazed faience/glass amulet shaped like a seated human-like figure with a raised arm and a raised, hooked element near the head, against a plain white background.

The object is a compact, vertically oriented amulet with a dark blue to purple surface and scattered lighter specks. The figure is seated on a low base/plinth. One arm is raised toward the chest/head area, while the other is positioned down along the side. Near the head there is a distinct protrusion that could represent a head-dress or associated attribute; the form is stylized and worn/abraded. No clear hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible on the front face in this image. The surface appears glossy and mottled, consistent with a colored glazed ceramic or glass-like material; however, the exact material cannot be independently confirmed from the image alone. The catalogue description specifies a funerary amulet depicting Qebehsenuef (one of the Four Sons of Horus), but the image resolution does not clearly show the diagnostic attribute (e.g., a specific vessel or distinctive iconography) needed to confirm which of the Four Sons is depicted.
