Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
A dark, mummiform (mummylike) standing figure with a human head shown in profile, preserved as a painted/covered sculpture on a rectangular base.
The image shows a single standing, mummiform deity figure: the body is elongated and wrapped like a mummy, with a stylized human head wearing a smooth head covering/headdress. The face is slightly turned to the viewer’s left, with defined eye and facial markings. The figure’s surface is dark (likely blackened from pigment or coating) with lighter paint remnants and weathering across the torso and arms. The figure stands on a rectangular, stepped base that also bears traces of paint and wear. No legible hieroglyphs or cartouches are clearly readable in the photograph; faint surface markings on the torso could be decorative but cannot be confidently identified as specific signs. There is no visible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text.
