A bright turquoise faience amulet depicts a slender figure with a zoomorphic head, featuring a long snout and a pointed ear facing right. Its rectangular torso is textured with six horizontal parallel grooves. The figure's body tapers downward to a small foot extending to the right. Two small circular holes for suspension pierce the back edge near the head and the base.
