A small blue-green faience ring fragment modeled in the form of a frog, shown in partial view.
The object appears as a fragment of a ring with a sculpted frog head/body in relief-in-the-round. The surface is glossy and worn, with the most prominent feature being the frog’s rounded head and snout, and a suggestion of facial markings or eyes molded into the faience. The piece is predominantly turquoise-blue with areas of lighter weathering to greenish/whitish deposits. No clear diagnostic hieroglyphs, cartouches, or textual inscriptions are visible on this fragment. No identifiable deities are explicitly indicated beyond the frog iconography.
