A vibrant turquoise faience amulet depicts the goddess Mut as a slender, standing figure. She wears a tall, tiered crown tapering to a rounded point and a long, narrow garment. Her arms rest flat against her sides. The glossy, blue-green surface is marked by small dark pits and areas of wear. Her facial features appear simplified and smoothed by age. The figure stands on a flat base against a blurred background.
