A glossy turquoise faience amulet depicts two plucked ducks side-by-side. Two bulbous heads emerge from a rounded top, above a thick central body textured with small pits and brown mineral deposits. At the base, four rounded limbs project forward. The bright blue surface shows slight wear and fragmentation along its edges. Light reflects off the glass-like finish, highlighting the object's vibrant color and the subtle, irregular details of its molded form.
