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 bronze/metal standing male figure shown in profile with a raised hand and holding an object, posed to stride forward.
The image depicts a small single human figure in three-quarter view facing to the right. The figure wears a short kilt and a head covering or wig; the left arm is bent with the hand raised near the chest, and the right arm extends forward holding a small implement/gesture object. The legs are set in a walking/striding stance, suggesting movement consistent with the catalogue description of a 'Striding King.' No clear hieroglyphic inscription, cartouche, or royal name is visible on the figure or in the field of view. The surface appears dark/gray in the photograph, consistent with a metal object; while the catalogue states 'Gold,' the image lighting/color does not allow confirming gold specifically. No other text (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) is legible.
