A standing male Egyptian statue (kneeling or standing pose) with arms held down in front, wearing a short garment, shown from head to base with a seated plinth bearing carved decoration.

The image shows a small-scale, front-facing statue of a human figure standing upright on a rectangular base/plinth. The figure has a shaved or closely cropped head, a simple facial treatment with beard-like facial styling, and a neutral expression. The arms are held close to the body, with the hands placed near the thighs/lower torso. The torso has shallow incised details suggesting musculature and a belt/sash across the waist. The lower body is bare below a short kilt/garment. The base/plinth has multiple horizontal bands with incised markings that resemble hieroglyphic or decorative register lines, though the individual signs are not legible at this resolution. No clear Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No cartouches are clearly readable in the provided image. The material appears dark grey/black and stone-like, consistent with the catalogued diorite, though the exact stone type cannot be independently verified from appearance alone.
