Painted wooden funerary figure standing upright with a stylized, wide collar and patterned chest decoration; the head is small and dark with a human-like face.

The artifact shows an anthropoid funerary figure rendered in a simplified, vertical form. The head is small with a dark, reddish-brown painted surface and a delineated face; no clear inscription is visible on the head or body. A broad, multi-colored collar/frame surrounds the neck and upper chest, with geometric bands and a central circular or oval motif. Beneath the collar, the torso includes a large rectangular panel and register-like bands, rendered in red, white, cream, and green/blue-green paint. The lower portion narrows toward the legs, and the base is a stepped, rectangular plinth with painted areas and geometric framing lines. A human figure name (e.g., Qebehsenuef) is not legible from the provided image; no cartouches are clearly visible. Overall, the style and painted decoration are consistent with a Late Period–Ptolemaic funerary wooden figure, matching the catalogue’s type.
