A seated, human figure carved in stone, shown holding an object or gesture of the hands and wearing a traditional Egyptian wig and kilt.

The image shows a freestanding Egyptian statue of a seated man on a square seat/block. The figure’s head is shaved with a long, straight wig falling to either side of the face. The face is modeled with forward-looking eyes, a defined nose, and a plain, closed mouth. One hand is raised toward the chest/upper body while the other rests lower on the lap or holding the front of a rectangular element; the exact held object is unclear. The lower body wears a pleated, ankle-length kilt or garment, with carved folds along the thighs and legs. No clear hieroglyphic inscriptions or cartouches are visible on the exposed surfaces in this view; any markings on the seat or base are indistinct. The statue appears to be carved from pale stone consistent with the catalogued limestone; tool marks and weathering are visible but the overall carving is intact. No modern text, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic script is visible.
