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 standing, human-shaped Egyptian bronze figurine is shown frontally on a pedestal with an inscription on the base.

The image depicts a dark bronze figure standing upright, arms held close to the body, with a shaven or tight hairstyle and a stylized head. A pedestal/block at the feet bears a clear handwritten/printed inscription in what appears to be inked/engraved text; the upper part of the base includes a small numbered label and the word “Ptah” followed by additional lines of text. No clear carved hieroglyphs or royal cartouches are legible on the figure itself in this photograph. The background is plain, and the object is photographed directly from the front, centered in the frame.
