An amulet glazed in bright turquoise blue depicts a stylized eye in profile. Thick, dark brown lines define the eye and a curved brow above. Below the pupil, a vertical band descends, flanked by a curved hook and a rectangular section with horizontal ridges. The flat, irregularly shaped piece shows a pitted and worn glaze, with visible damage along its top and bottom edges.
