Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
Turquoise-blue faience amulet shaped in the form of a standing enthroned/royal figure associated with a throne-name cartouche area, with incised details on the front.
The object is a small, turquoise-blue (faience) amulet with an overall form suggesting a standing divine/royal figure or an enthroned emblem. The front face has vertical incised lines and symbol-like markings that could relate to hieroglyphic text or ornamental stripes, though the specific signs are not fully legible in the image provided. At the top, the figure has a head and a projecting element that may correspond to a headdress, while at the bottom there is a flat, broken base. No clearly readable cartouche border is visible, and no distinct Amenhotep III throne-name signs can be confirmed from the provided resolution. No additional Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is present, and any hieroglyphic markings appear as worn/abstract incisions rather than clearly distinguishable characters.
