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.
The image shows a small, crescent-shaped penannular earring with a glossy reddish-orange surface and a hollow opening through the center.
A single penannular (C-shaped) earring is depicted against a plain light background. The object is small and smooth, with a curved hoop and a split gap at the top. The outer surface appears glossy and reddish-orange with scattered darker speckling or weathering; fine streaks and uneven coloration suggest either pigments or mineral inclusions on a solid body. No attached suspension element (e.g., pin, loop beyond the hoop) is clearly visible beyond the curved ring itself. There are no legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other text on the visible surfaces. No identifiable deities or royal names are present.
