Small Egyptian faience amulet or figurine-like object in bright blue glaze, shaped with a human/standing form and a raised hand or arm element.
The image shows a vertical, vertically oriented blue-glazed faience object with a stylized human figure. The upper portion forms a head and upper torso with incised or molded facial/arm details; the hands/arms appear raised toward the chest/face area. There are faint molded markings along the sides and a horizontal band near the base, suggesting decorative relief or hieroglyphic-like ornamentation but without clearly readable individual signs. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No distinct royal cartouche is clearly identifiable. Overall coloration and finish are consistent with a blue-glazed faience surface (including lighter streaks from wear).
