A vertically oriented, bright turquoise faience amulet depicts two trussed ducks side by side. The small, glossy object features a pitted surface and tapers toward the base. Four rounded protrusions along the bottom edge form the ends of the ducks, separated by a shallow vertical groove. Patches of brownish-gray residue are visible in surface depressions, most prominently near the top left corner.
