A rectangular green-glazed faience plaque shows a standing, human-shaped figure with jackal-like head details and a plinth base.

The image depicts a tall, rectangular object with two circular holes near the top corners. The surface is covered in a mottled green glaze. Incised or molded relief lines form a standing, mummiform figure: a head profile with a pointed muzzle/jackal-like features, a tall body in a frontal stance, and a distinct pedestal/plinth at the feet. The background is plain aside from the glaze wear and small losses. No clearly readable hieroglyphic inscriptions or alphabetic text are visible in the provided view.
