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

The object is a compact, teardrop/eye-form faience amulet with a thick molded outline resembling the Wedjat eye. The surface shows mottled green-blue glazing with areas of wear and small chips; the lower edge has a projecting element resembling the lower lid/cheek mark. The amulet appears to be depicted without additional surrounding iconography or a cartouche. No clear hieroglyphic text is visible; the molded forms are purely emblematic.
