Small, roughly heart/oval-shaped Egyptian sealing impression in brown mud, showing a standing figure in a frontal vignette with raised arms holding a long staff-like object.

The object appears to be a hand-sized lump of fired or dried mud with a molded design on one face. In the center is a standing human figure rendered in low relief, with a darkened head and torso. The figure faces forward and has one arm raised; the other arm is positioned as if supporting or gripping a long, vertical staff-like element. Behind or around the figure are angular, frame-like bands resembling a compact register or backing panel. The reverse/edges are uneven and show weathering and loss of fine detail typical of mud sealings.
