Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

A seated male figure (statuette) wearing a nemes-style headdress and holding a stylized object in front, shown with a seated-on-the-ground pose.

The image shows a dark stone seated sculpture of a male, with a broad, stylized face, defined eyes, and a nemes-like headdress. The figure is depicted seated upright with hands held close to the body and a small, block-like element in the lap/foreground. Incised/painted-style lines and signs run across the lower portion and apron area, but the individual hieroglyphs are too worn or low-contrast to read reliably. No clearly legible royal cartouche or names are visible. The object appears to be a sculpted bust/statuette with an integrated seat base; overall surface shows weathering and abrasion. The catalogue title and subject (“Titi Seated on the Ground”) are conceptually compatible with a small seated official statue, but the image quality does not allow confident verification of the specific individual name.
