Small rectangular faience fragment with a painted/greenish-blue glaze and a central dark circular form over faint figure-like marks.
The object appears as a thick, rectangular shard with rounded edges and worn corners. Its surface is covered in a turquoise/greenish-blue glaze with areas of darker brown/black encrustation and abrasion. In the center there is a dark, circular/oval element from which faint, darker strokes extend downward, suggesting a partially preserved molded or painted design; additional indistinct vertical/horizontal marks are present but too blurred to identify specific hieroglyphs or a clear figure. No readable hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible in the provided image. The overall appearance is consistent with a small decorative votive element such as a bracelet fragment, but the exact bracelet motif cannot be securely reconstructed from this worn portion.
