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 gold-toned plaque in relief depicting a standing female deity figure, with a drilled suspension hole at the top.
The object is a vertically oriented, gold-colored/metallic plaque with a round hole near the upper center for attachment or suspension. In relief, a human-like female figure stands facing forward with arms lowered; a long garment or divine clothing extends to the feet. The face and hairstyle/headdress are partially worn but suggest a bearded/striated headdress element and a stylized torso. The background is plain and the figure is the main modeled element. No clearly legible hieroglyphic inscriptions (or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text) are visible in the provided image. No cartouche or royal name is discernible. Overall condition appears worn but intact enough to see the central relief figure.
