A small blue faience amulet in the form of a crown/helmet with a circular suspension hole and molded surface details.
The object is a single, molded amulet shown against a plain light background. It has a bright turquoise/blue glaze consistent with faience and a distinct circular hole near the top, indicating it was meant to be worn or suspended. The overall silhouette resembles a crown/royal headpiece (the catalogued “White Crown” amulet): a rounded crown body with a central notch/indent and a simplified frontal form; a projecting lower element suggests the base of the crown. The surface includes scattered small dark spots/pits consistent with glaze loss, firing flaws, or decorative insets rather than readable text. No legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other inscriptions are visible in the provided image, and no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text appears.
