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 small rectangular, vertically oriented Egyptian faience/plaque-like object shows a standing mummiform deity figure with a baboon head and an atef-style headdress or head markings, framed by a simple border.

The image depicts a narrow upright rectangular artifact with rounded corners and two drilled holes near the top edge (suggesting suspension/attachment). Within the border, a standing figure is carved/inscribed in low relief. The deity is shown in a slim mummiform pose with a long staff-like or wedjat-style element raised or held at the sides, and with prominent facial features resembling a baboon head. The figure’s head includes distinct head/feather-like markings consistent with a stylized headdress. The body has layered, banded garments or wraps. Vertical hieroglyphic-like linework is present along the lower portion, but individual signs are not clear enough to identify confidently. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
