This appears to be an ancient Egyptian ankh-shaped bronze or copper artifact that has developed a green patina over time. The ankh is a hieroglyphic symbol representing life and immortality in ancient Egyptian culture. This particular piece shows the distinctive loop at the top and appears to be crafted in the form of a bird or waterfowl, with a long neck extending down into what would be the vertical shaft of the ankh. The surface shows the characteristic verdigris coloring (blue-green) that develops on copper-based metals through oxidation over long periods. It looks like it might have been used as an amulet or decorative piece, and there appears to be a hole in the body section, possibly for mounting or wearing purposes.
