A vibrant turquoise faience amulet depicts Anubis, a god with a jackal's head and human body, standing on a thin rectangular base. Stepping forward with his left leg, he wears a short, pleated kilt with arms at his sides. The figure features tall, pointed ears, and dark brown residue collects in the crevices of the ears and torso, contrasting against the brilliant blue-green glazed surface.
