Black-and-white photograph of a granite sculpture showing a human head and upper torso, with a child figure set across the shoulders (kid carried on shoulders).

The image shows a rounded head and shoulders of a stone figure carved in the round. The man’s facial features include a broad forehead, heavy eyelids, a straight nose, and a closed mouth. A smaller, more rounded form representing a child/kid is positioned on top of and supported by the man’s shoulders; the child’s head is visible above the man’s head and its body extends to either side. The figures are integrated into the same sculptural block. The carving is worn/abraded but the overall composition—adult bust with a carried child on the shoulders—matches the stated catalogue subject. No clear hieroglyphic inscriptions, cartouches, or textual elements are visible in this view. The surface appears dark and polished/abraded, consistent with stone sculpture photography; the catalogue states granite, which is plausible given the heavy, coarse sculptural appearance, but the photograph alone cannot independently confirm the exact stone type. No identifiable deities are clearly depicted by attributes in this image.
