A small, pale turquoise faience amulet depicts three Egyptian deities in high relief. Centrally, a youthful, nude Horus stands with a side lock of hair. He is flanked by Isis in a throne headdress on the left and Nephthys in a house and basket headdress on the right. Facing forward, the figures emerge from the plaque's pitted, vibrant blue surface, which is topped by a ribbed suspension loop.
