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 standing funerary figurine in faience-like material, modeled as a kneeling/standing male priest figure with a broad collar and stylized facial features.
The image shows a single anthropomorphic figurine photographed against a dark background. The figure has a shaved-head wig or tight hairstyle, a beaded/broad collar around the neck, and arms folded across the chest with hands held in front. The body is decorated with incised/raised linear bands and what appear to be vertical hieroglyph-like marks on the torso. The feet rest on a small base; overall proportions and styling are consistent with Late Period funerary priest figurines. No clearly legible cartouche or full name is visible at this resolution. No deities are confidently identifiable from the surface details shown.
