Small rectangular turquoise-green glazed plaque/bead with incised relief showing a seated figure and Egyptian hieroglyphic signs.
The image shows a small, rectangular object with rounded corners, colored green to turquoise. The surface appears glossy, consistent with a glazed material. One face is decorated with incised/relief elements: on the left there appears a standing or seated human figure in profile, while on the right there is a larger sign-like form including a circular/round element and surrounding strokes, resembling hieroglyphic or name/cartouche-related layout. The right side also contains additional smaller incised marks. No cartouche is clearly identifiable as “Amenhotep I” from the available resolution. A small pencil/paint-like number label is visible on the top edge, but it is not Egyptian text.
