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.
Small plaster sculptural fragment representing the front head and upper neck of an Egyptian king figure wearing a striped royal headdress.
The image shows a compact plaster object with the cropped front of a human head (nose and mouth modeled, eyes indicated) and a thick collar-like neck area beneath. The king wears a headdress with clear horizontal striping across the forehead and brow, extending toward the sides; both ears are partially modeled. The back/top of the object is roughly truncated, suggesting it is a fragment or section of a larger statue or model. A dark mounting stem/rod extends from the lower neck area, likely for display or preservation. No legible hieroglyphs are visible on the fragment, and no cartouche or royal name can be read. The background is a neutral grey surface; no other text or iconography is apparent.
