A small faience ring-like object decorated with a molded figure resembling a seated ape.
The image shows a small, greenish-blue faience object photographed against a plain background. The form appears ring-shaped or ring-like at one end, with a molded animal figure in relief on the face/center. The figure has an upright head and rounded body suggesting a kneeling or seated ape; the surface is worn, with mottling consistent with glaze loss or weathering. No clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other inscriptions are visible. No other materials or attachments can be clearly distinguished beyond the faience body.
