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.

A small gold sheet amulet shaped like a vertical strap/tower form with a cut-out rectangular/slot area in the middle and a single suspension hole.

The image shows a compact, sheet-metal amulet in gold color, photographed against a light background. The object is roughly vertical and resembles a stylized narrow column or belt/strap form. A darker interior cut-out/slot is visible near the center, bordered by raised edges, suggesting the amulet is made from thin sheet material and shaped by cutting and folding. At the upper portion there are two small projecting parts (one looks like a short rounded/raised element), and near the upper right/side there is a circular hole indicating suspension or attachment. No clear solar disc, cartouche, or readable hieroglyphic text is visible in the photograph; any letter-like marks are indistinct. No modern conservation labels or inscriptions are readable.
