A statue depicting the back of a seated figure with detailed hair.

The image shows the back view of an ancient Egyptian statue, likely made of a dark stone material. The figure is seated and the most notable feature is the detailed carving of the hair, which is intricately designed with a series of curls or patterns. The overall appearance suggests a realistic style that captures the texture and volume of the hair, but the rest of the body is less detailed.
