A gray-green, weathered faience amulet depicts a standing goddess on a small rectangular base. Nephthys wears a tall, flat-topped crown that flares outward at its peak. Her face features large eyes and a prominent nose, her arms resting straight at her sides. A circular hole pierces her slender abdomen, and muted brown discoloration marks the aged surface of her lower body and base.
