Small, turquoise/green stone Egyptian amulet shown in profile, with a shape resembling a human figure or stylized form possibly associated with a goddess.

The object appears to be a small amulet carved from a greenish stone, photographed against a light background. It has a rounded head and a body/form that tapers or bends, with one raised or projecting element on the right side. No clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or separate inscription field are visible in the image resolution provided. The surface shows mottled green coloration with darker areas, consistent with a mineral/stone finish rather than painted decoration. Due to limited visibility of iconographic details, identification of the specific goddess (catalogued as Ma’at) and any definite associated symbols is not fully confirmable from the image alone.
