A small standing Egyptian statuette of a deity-like figure, shown with a tall, round wig/helmet and a uraeus-like headdress element, holding an object in each hand, standing on a rectangular base.
The object is a bronze/copper-alloy statuette depicting a human-form female/masculine deity figure in a frontal stance. The head has a large, rounded cap/helmet or wig with a central vertical element rising from the forehead area; the face has incised facial features and a headdress/face framing typical of Egyptian divine statuary. The figure wears a structured collar and a short kilt or tight garment. Both arms are bent slightly, with the hands holding small implements or offering-like items (details are indistinct). The legs are joined with small feet standing on a rectangular plinth. The base bears worn incised decoration/possibly inscription-like bands, but no clearly readable hieroglyphs can be confirmed from the image resolution. The surface shows greenish corrosion consistent with copper alloy preservation.
