Djed pillar Amulet
A small green-glazed faience amulet in the form of a djed pillar, with a flared base, four stacked horizontal bands, and a leafy capital at the top. The glaze is mottled with lighter and darker patches, and the piece sits centered against a plain white ground.
Look closer: A reddish stain or patch near the bottom of the base.
