A small ancient Egyptian faience figurine of a mummiform deity or figure.
This artifact is a faience statuette representing a mummiform figure, likely a deity or a symbolic object. The figure is depicted with arms crossed over the chest, typical of funerary or religious iconography. The surface shows signs of aging and weathering, with a bluish-green glaze characteristic of faience. The workmanship suggests an emphasis on stylized features rather than detailed realism, common in Egyptian art.
