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 blue faience funerary figurine depicting a mummiform standing figure with arms crossed over the chest and incised details on the torso and legs.

The image shows a single small, turquoise/blue faience figurine photographed against a neutral background. The figure stands upright in a mummiform pose: a stylized head with a rounded crown and a wrapped/striated headdress falls down the sides. The arms are crossed tightly at chest level, and the torso is decorated with incised linear patterning and bands that resemble clothing or wrapping. The legs are straight and parallel with vertical incised strokes, suggesting folds or ornamentation. The surface has highlights and visible wear/pitting consistent with faience. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are readable at this resolution, though there are incised decorative markings on the body.
