Bronze standing female deity statuette with a horned headdress and a long, narrow body rendered in simplified proportions.
The image shows a full-length small statuette of a goddess figure standing frontally on a rectangular base. The figure has a head with a horned or headdress-like form above the forehead (two projecting elements) and a stylized face with small facial features. Arms are out to the sides with hands lifted; the left hand appears to hold or present a small object while the right hand is also raised in a gesture. The torso and legs are modeled with minimal anatomical detail; a single vertical element on the front suggests a drapery line or decorative ridge. The overall surface is worn/patina-darkened, with highlights from metal corrosion and handling marks. No clearly readable hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible in the photograph, and there is no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text apparent.
