An amulet glazed in bright turquoise faience depicts two ducks joined together. The glossy, textured surface is pitted and weathered. At the top, two small, rounded heads face away from each other toward the left and right. The central body is wider and leads to three distinct protrusions at the bottom that represent tail feathers. The vertical object is centered against a solid gray background.
