Limestone relief or statue-like panel depicts a standing female figure holding one hand across the chest and the other at the waist.
The object is a rectangular limestone piece showing a frontal, standing figure with a shaved or closely arranged hairstyle and a head covering or wig cap. The figure wears layered or pleated garments: a long, kilt-like skirt with vertical detailing and a broad collar or garment at the upper body. One arm is brought inward across the torso, with the hand resting near the chest/upper abdomen, while the other hand rests lower at the waist. Traces of pigment are suggested by slight discoloration on the surface, though no clear color remains. A shallow circular/oval element appears behind or around the head, possibly part of the carved background. The remainder of the background is plain with weathering and tool marks; no clearly legible hieroglyphs or cartouches are visible on the provided image.
