A turquoise faience amulet depicts a stylized animal head in profile against a soft gray background. The bright blue vertical form features a straight back edge accented by a dark band. Two pointed ears angle upward from the top, while a dark circular eye sits beside a rectangular snout extending rightward. Below, the front edge curves outward toward the base. Its glossy surface shows scattered brown pitting and discoloration.
