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 standing Egyptian-style figure carved in relief, shown frontally with a raised right hand and a stylized head and face profile.

The object appears as a rectangular, backplate-like block with an integral relief figure in the center. The figure’s head and shoulders are rendered in profile with a prominent facial outline. One hand is raised toward the face/chest while the other holds an object that is not clearly defined; a striped or ribbed garment/wing-like element extends across the torso. Along the lower body, there is a long vertical band of molded patterning and a stepped base/foot zone. Two circular holes are visible near the top right and bottom corners, likely for mounting. No clear hieroglyphic text is visible in the provided image. The overall surface is gray, consistent with a carved stone or glazed ceramic appearance, but the image resolution does not allow verification of “glazed faience” vs. another material. No modern inscriptions are visible.

religious unclear (likely Egyptian Late/Greco-Roman era based on funerary/imsety iconography, but not verifiable from image alone) good
