Front-facing block statue in dark stone showing a mummiform figure with a projecting face wearing a tall nemes-like headdress and hands crossed at the chest.

The artifact appears as a standing block statue: the head is rounded and the figure is enclosed in a rectangular, mummiform body block. The face is carved in shallow relief with a calm expression. The head has a tall, ribbed nemes-style headdress/royal-inspired headcloth that extends down at the sides. The arms are indicated across the torso (exact finger detail is unclear). The front of the torso contains a dense vertical and horizontal layout of incised hieroglyphs (all-over inscription panel), with the lowest registers continuing onto a narrow base. The surrounding surface is worn/abraded, but the hieroglyphic lines remain legible in places though individual signs are difficult to confirm confidently at this image resolution. No cartouches are clearly distinguishable as royal names. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The overall appearance matches a carved stone object consistent with a Late Period–Ptolemaic block statue type.
