Djed Pillar Amulet
A small faience amulet in the form of a djed pillar, shown upright against a plain gray ground. Four stacked, fluted horizontal bands rise above a ringed collar and a flared base, with a rounded top knob. The glazed surface is a pale blue-green with speckled wear and a few reddish spots.
Look closer: Small reddish spots and chipping on the lower base, marks of wear on the glaze.
