Small carved Egyptian statuette showing a standing figure with an Osirid-style crown and a hand held up in a gesture, decorated with dark painted detailing.

The image depicts a freestanding, human-shaped Egyptian figure carved in the round. The figure wears a tall, ribbed/striped crown (Osirid-like) and is rendered with a stylized body and face. One arm/hand is raised near the chest or shoulder in a formal gesture; the other arm hangs down or is partially obscured by the body. There are dark, incised/painted lines emphasizing outlines and facial details, including a dark mark around/near the eyes and mouth area and additional shading on the torso. The base bears a small rectangular label-like inscription in darker pigment. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or full dedicatory text are visible on the body in the provided photo. The catalogue identifies the object as “Min,” but the image shows a small generic ritual figure; the specific Min attributes (e.g., characteristic headdress and ithyphallic features) are not clearly confirmable from this angle and resolution, so direct confirmation is uncertain.
