A small ancient Egyptian figurine of a deity, possibly Bes.

The artifact appears to be a small statuette made of a brownish material with a green patina, which is characteristic of bronze. The figure is depicted with distinct facial features and a headdress, suggesting it could represent the deity Bes, known for his protective role. The piece is slightly worn, indicating age, but remains largely intact.
