Painted and gilded funerary-style cartonnage mask/effigy showing a mummiform figure with a stylized face, wearing a decorated headdress and a broad gold-toned collar and tunic-like covering.

The image shows a fragmentary, arched cartonnage figure with a painted human face (heavy eye outlines, downcast expression) and a head covering/hair area rendered in multiple colors. A gold/yellow-toned surface covers the face and upper torso, with painted details around the eyes and nose. The figure wears a broad, collar-like element (gold-toned) and a pink-purple garment or inlaid textile-like patch on the chest and/or arms. The figure’s hands are depicted in a clasped or resting position at the lower right, with painted/relief fingers. There is no clearly legible hieroglyphic inscription visible on the provided view, and no cartouche is readable. Overall coloring is polychrome with traces of gilding and plastered layers, consistent with cartonnage construction.
