A painted wooden bust of a person with a striped headdress.
This artifact is a wooden bust depicting a figure wearing a traditionally striped headdress. The style reflects classic Egyptian artistic conventions, with a focus on symmetry and stylized features. The hair or headdress is colored with vertical stripes, and the remains of colorful paint hint at its original vibrancy. The figure's eyes are wide and almond-shaped, characteristic of Egyptian art, and the chest is adorned with a painted necklace or collar.
