A small dark bronze statuette depicts a standing composite figure with an elaborate head/upper headdress and raised hands, mounted on a rectangular base.
The image shows a monochrome photograph of a small bronze statuette standing upright on a rectangular plinth. The figure has a human-like slender body and a prominent, vertically extended headdress at the top of the head, with separate rounded elements flanking the upper portion. One arm appears lifted with the hand raised near the chest/face area, suggesting a gesture or held implement. The face is simplified in a schematized style, with worn details. The surface shows casting/engraving texture and patination, and the base is plain and rectangular with beveled edges. No legible inscriptions or text are visible on the image, and no cartouche or royal name can be confirmed.
