A small faience amulet, glazed in light robin's egg blue, depicts a ram lying on a narrow rectangular base. Facing left, the animal features thick, curved horns wrapping its head and vertical lines defining a mane. Its weathered surface shows a chip on the back and brownish discoloration on the chest. Light glints off the smooth glazing.
