A painted/blue-glazed Egyptian female bust seated or kneeling, wearing a nemes-style headdress and a broad wig/headdress with rows of beaded elements, holding a protective ankhscepter-like symbol and/or a sistrum-like object.

The image shows a small Egyptian sculpture of a female figure in a bust-like pose. The figure has a detailed wig or headcloth with a central emblem at the forehead and a collar with multiple bead rows. The head is topped with a striped head covering resembling a nemes, and the face has almond eyes and a calm, frontal expression. Across the upper body/shoulders are stacked beaded collars and a broader garment line. One hand is raised toward the chest area holding an object that includes an oval/circular element in front of the torso; the object form is not clearly identifiable from the photo but appears to be held close to the body. The overall surface is uniform blue, consistent with a glazed faience or frit-based material. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible on the object surface. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text appears in the image background or on the artifact.
