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.

A small turquoise-blue faience cowroid (amulet) with a central incised motif that resembles a throne/chair-like element and accompanying hieroglyphic-style signs.

The image shows a single, vertically oriented cowroid-shaped amulet with a rounded-oval body and a flattened top and bottom. The surface is turquoise/blue with darker greenish areas from age or color wear. On the front, a horizontal band of dark incised linework frames a central symbol that appears throne-like (a chair/backrest form) with additional small sign-like elements above and below; however, the individual hieroglyphic signs are not fully legible at this resolution. There is no visible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text. No clear cartouche is readable in the photograph, though the catalogue states the piece bears the throne name of Thutmose II. Condition appears good overall, with minor chips and loss near the top edge and wear across the face.
