Bronze standing female Egyptian deity figurine with a cat-like head, wearing a tall wig and holding an object to the chest, photographed against a plain background.

The image shows a small, dark bronze figurine of a standing deity. The figure has a cat or feline head with ears and a stylized facial treatment, and wears a long, horizontally banded garment or dress. One arm is raised toward the chest and holds an unspecified small implement/object; the other arm appears to rest across the body. The lower legs end in feet on a rectangular base. No surrounding context (plinth, pedestal inscriptions) is visible. The photograph does not clearly show any attached cartouche elements or readable hieroglyphs; the surface has sculpted detailing on the dress (incised/engraved vertical and banded lines) but no legible text. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. Condition appears good overall from the photo, with no major breaks visible, though finer details are softened by lighting and surface wear.
