An amulet glazed in vibrant turquoise blue depicts a stylized animal head in profile. Two tall, pointed ears rise from the crown, and a rectangular snout extends horizontally. A dark, circular bead forms a prominent eye, while incised lines filled with brown material define the ears and neck. The figure stands on a small, flat base. Its smooth surface and sharp silhouette characterize this symbolic representation.
