Photograph of a small dark metal standing female figurine on a rectangular base, with one arm raised holding a staff or club-like object across the body.
The image shows a small bronze-colored statuette of a nude/closely dressed standing female figure rendered in a simplified form. The figure stands upright on a rectangular pedestal. One arm is bent with a hand raised holding a curved or club-like implement; the other arm is bent across the torso at waist/chest level. The head is topped with an indistinct hairstyle/headdress shape; specific feline features cannot be confirmed from this image. No clear inscription is visible on the base or body, and there are no legible Greek/Coptic/Arabic/Latin characters. The surface appears dark and worn, consistent with aged cast metal.
