Stone head depicting an ancient Egyptian pharaoh.
The artifact is a sculpted stone head of an Egyptian pharaoh, characterized by traditional Nemes headdress and uraeus. The facial features are idealized, with a calm expression and well-defined proportions. The headdress suggests royalty, while the state of preservation reveals minor erosion and damage primarily on the nose and surrounding areas. Despite its fragmentary condition, the craftsmanship displays exceptional skill indicative of royal sculpture.
