An amulet glazed in bright turquoise depicts two plucked ducks side-by-side in a flattened, vertical form. The rounded upper section, representing the birds' bodies, is divided by a vertical indentation and features a slightly pitted texture with a glossy finish. A dark brown crack appears near the top left. The base narrows into short, splayed forms for legs, with small dark spots scattered across the center of the piece.
