A small turquoise/green faience finger ring with a carved bezel showing the front of a deity-like figure in relief.
The image shows a single small ring-shaped object photographed against a light background. The material appears to be turquoise/green faience with darker blue-green and brownish staining or wear. The ring’s bezel is elongated and rounded, with a raised relief depiction on the front: a face with prominent eyes and a forehead/upper head area, and a simplified torso or garment band beneath. The reverse and ring band details are not clearly visible from this angle, and no clear inscribed band text can be read. No cartouche or royal name is visible, and the figure’s iconography is too unclear for confident identification of a specific deity. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible; no legible hieroglyphic inscription is present.
