Two views of a small green glazed steatite scaraboid with a fish motif on the face.

The image shows a small, oval/compact scaraboid-like object photographed from two angles (left and right). The face is decorated with a raised motif that resembles a fish body and fins, rendered in darker and lighter green/blackish lines. In the right view, the decoration includes a blocky central element with surrounding curved markings, consistent with a carved symbolic fish design rather than a purely geometric ornament. The object is green throughout with visible glaze/shiny surface and darker recesses where the carving was filled or unglazed. No clearly legible hieroglyphic signs, cartouches, or complete inscriptions are visible in the provided image. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is present.
