Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
A small dark metal statue depicting a feline-like creature with a crouched stance; a separate coiled element appears around/near its legs.
The image shows a small, solid, dark object photographed against a light background. The figure stands in a seated/crouched pose with a feline head in profile (upright ears and a short muzzle). The body is blocky and worn, with the lower legs indicated as a compact form; around the legs there appears to be a coiled serpent-like element or a raised twist consistent with the catalogue’s description. No clear inscriptions or facial attributes of a specific deity are visible due to the low resolution and wear. A handwritten/printed accession label reading “891A” is visible on the left side of the image, but it does not appear to be Egyptian text. No cartouches, Greek, or Coptic/Arabic text are visible.
