A small round button seal made of green glazed steatite with a dense field of dark-blue/black incised decorative lines on the face.

The object is a circular, button-like stamp seal with a flat back and a decorated front. The front face is covered by tightly carved, swirling/looping incised motifs that read visually as stylized hieroglyphic elements, but the individual signs and any cartouche boundaries are not clearly legible at this resolution. A short metal pin is visible on the left side edge, consistent with a perforation/attachment point for wearing or fixing the seal. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No clear deity figures are identifiable from the motifs; the decoration appears to be inscriptional or ornamental rather than figurative.
