Machine-generated from the object's image on May 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

The image depicts an X-ray of a small artifact with two distinct shapes visible.

The image is an X-ray showing two parts of an ancient Egyptian artifact. The top part seems to consist of a rounded shape with some structural details, possibly a small statue or a decorative piece. Below, a longer and more elongated form is visible, suggesting it might be a figure or part of a figure, possibly wrapped in a covering material that becomes apparent under X-ray imaging. The image style is diagnostic, lacking color or surface textures, focusing solely on internal structures.
