Glazed in deep turquoise-blue, this faience amulet is shaped like an ovular vessel. Two horizontal lines are incised near its base, flanked by small rectangular tabs. A narrow neck rises to a flat collar, capped by a vertical, ribbed suspension loop. The glossy surface exhibits a slightly pitted texture, with earthy brown patches settled in the crevices, highlighting the vessel's miniature, rounded form.
