Bronze figure of a standing Egyptian warrior god with an upright staff/attribute, holding one arm raised and the other arm bent at the hip, wearing a tall plinth-like headdress and a stylized wig or head covering. A rectangular shrine-like element rises above the head, and the face is detailed with dark inlaid eyes.

The artifact is a small full-figure statue depicting a male, nude or minimally draped Egyptian deity in a contrapposto stance. The figure stands on a stepped rectangular base; the left arm is raised with the hand near shoulder height while the right arm is bent with the hand placed near the waist/hip. The head wears a tall, rectangular headdress or shrine-like element and a wig-style element at the sides; the face has a strong modeling and dark, inlaid-looking eyes. The torso is bare and muscular; there is a belt or kilt line indicated at the hips. The base appears to be a later display support (wood or dark composite) distinct from the bronze body, though the bronze body itself is clearly the main material. A lightly textured border/rows of decoration are visible on the upright headdress/shrine element, suggesting carved detail rather than text. No clear hieroglyphic inscriptions, cartouches, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text are visible on the statue or base in this image.
