Painted cartonnage panel showing a standing kneeling/attendant figure with arms out and vertical columns of hieroglyphic text flanking the person.
The image presents a rectangular, painted panel on a light, textured ground. A male-presenting figure stands front-facing, wearing a long red kilt and a white/cream wig or head covering; the figure’s arms extend with hands near or at the sides. Behind and to either side of the figure are multiple vertical groupings of hieroglyphs in dark ink, arranged in several columns. One column on the right includes a distinctive Ankh-like sign and other small-sign groups, while the left side has additional stacked signs; the overall layout resembles funerary or protective text. No clear cartouche with a royal name is legible at this resolution. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The surface appears to have plaster/gesso and painted decoration consistent with cartonnage.
