Reddish-brown ceramic mould for an amulet. Mould shape is complete and teardrop shaped suggesting its use for making pendants. No obvious decoration apparent in the cavity. Possibly a Lotus petal or leaf design. Rounded back to mould.

From the 1925 excavations at Tell el Amarna, find number not recorded, "sundry moulds unnumbered". Excavated by the Egypt Exploration Society in 1925 and acquired by the EES in the division of finds. Donated to the East Anglia Egyptian Society by the EES in recognition of a contribution to the EES (excavation subscription). Donated to Norwich Castle Museum. Purchased from the collections of Norwich Castle Museum in 1956 by Liverpool City Museum (now World Museum).
