A small turquoise-blue faience standing figure of an Egyptian deity/saint-like figure, shown facing forward with a raised right hand holding a small object and wearing a tripartite wig/loom-like headdress and a long kilt.
The object depicts a human-like standing figure on a rectangular base. The head has a rounded, disk-like element above the forehead (possibly part of a crown/headdress). The face is modeled with defined eyes and a slight mouth. The right hand is raised toward the chest, holding a small pointed or rod-like object; the left arm hangs down (partially obscured by the body and attributes). The torso includes incised/raised details suggesting a cloak or collar and a cross/strap-like element. The lower body tapers to the legs and feet, with a vertically incised kilt with banding. No clear cartouche or legible hieroglyphs are visible in the provided image. The style resembles typical Ptolemaic-period small faience cult figures, possibly associated with solar/religious iconography, but the image is not clear enough to confidently name the specific figure as Re-Horakhty.
