A small green faience amulet shaped like the Eye of Horus (Wedjat), shown in two side views on a white background.

The image shows two views of a single, small, flat-to-slightly domed amulet in green-blue glazed ceramic (faience). The amulet has the characteristic almond/eye form with recessed linear details suggesting the stylized eye, brow line, and internal markings. Each side view includes a rounded outer shape and a central oval eye cavity, with small notch-like projections below. No clear suspension loop is visible in this image. There are no readable inscriptions or additional figures present. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
