A polychrome faience amulet, bright green with a glossy, bumpy surface, depicts a bird with its neck curved back and head resting on its body. A raised red oval sits atop the head, while a diagonal rectangular hole pierces the left side. Dark discoloration fills recessed lines across the pitted, uneven form. Resting on a flat horizontal base, the compact bird is defined by textured ridges that catch the light.
