Brownish-red small ceramic mould for an amulet. The design is of a grape bunch. A white substance is still really visible in and around the mould cavity. String marks are visible around the design suggesting its use. Irregular 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).
