Small blue-glazed faience seal ring (or signet) with a recessed design showing a central standing figure and surrounding raised elements.
The object appears as an oval/teardrop-shaped amulet-like seal form in vivid blue material with lighter marbling consistent with faience glazing. The face shows a central standing or seated human/figure-like form rendered in lighter (white/cream) glaze against the darker blue ground. Around the figure are curved and hooked raised motifs that could represent schematic limbs, clothing, or border elements, but the image resolution does not allow confident reading of specific hieroglyphs or a royal titulary. No clear cartouche edges or legible royal name are visible. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is present. The back/setting is not visible, so metal ring material cannot be assessed from the image.
