A small bronze standing mummiform statue shows a male figure with a bald head and hands crossed over the chest.

The object is depicted frontally as a slender standing, mummiform/Osiride-like figure. The head is smooth and bald, with a small wig-like band only faintly suggested by surface wear. The face has carved facial features with a dark inlaid area around the mouth/nose region. Both arms are held close to the body with hands placed on the chest (exact gesture detail is unclear). The torso is simplified and the body tapers slightly downward to flat feet, indicating a standing full-figure statue. The surface appears greenish-brown, consistent with bronze patination. No clear, legible hieroglyphic inscription or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible in the provided image. No readable cartouche or royal name is apparent. The cataloged subject/title as “Standing Mummiform Statuette of Ptah” is stylistically consistent with a small Egyptian mummiform deity statue, but Ptah cannot be securely identified from the image alone due to lack of readable identifying inscriptions or attributes.
