A small bronze standing female figure with a rounded head ornament and an upward pair of raised arms holding a papyrus-like or floral element at the top.

The artifact depicts a human-like female deity rendered in a slim, elongated standing pose. The head has a dark, rounded headdress or wig-like mass, with two small projecting elements rising on either side. Both arms are raised upward with hands turned toward the top where a rounded disc-like element is held or supported. The facial features are schematic, with defined eyes and a headdress or headband. The torso and legs are narrow; the left and right arms appear as raised, pillar-like supports. No clear inscription, cartouche, or readable hieroglyphs are visible in the provided image. The object is shown freestanding on a modern rectangular base. Surface wear and patination are visible, but there are no clearly distinct metal inlays.
