AI image analysis GPT-5.4-nano

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 greenish faience funerary figurine (mummy-shaped or Osirid-like) with a human face and arms held close to the chest, inscribed on the body with multiple horizontal lines of hieroglyphs.

The image shows a single upright, mummy/Osirid-style figurine with a rounded wig-like headdress/head area and a stylized face featuring almond-shaped eyes and a long, narrow nose and mouth. The arms are folded downward with hands placed near the upper chest. The torso and lower body are covered by tightly packed, horizontal rows of dark hieroglyphic signs separated into bands. The figurine has a worn but legible overall form; fine details of individual sign readings are not fully certain from the provided resolution. No visible modern/Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is apparent. The base flares slightly at the bottom, consistent with a figurine stand or termination.

funerary Late Period (as in catalogue) good
Deities Osiris (suggested by funerary figurine type; specific identification not provable from image alone)
Materials faience (green glaze/patina)
Signs hieroglyphic signs in horizontal registers (individual signs not reliably readable at this resolution) ×30
