A small bronze figure depicts a standing/embracing female deity with a stylized headdress and hands positioned to hold or clasp fabric around her hips.
The object is a patinated bronze statuette against a plain red background. The figure appears seated or standing with bent legs, wearing a long, wrapped garment. The head is surmounted by a prominent tall headdress/urn-like element, and the face is rendered with a calm expression. One hand holds or gathers the garment at the hip area, while the other supports or clasps the rolled/flowing fabric, consistent with an iconographic pose of a deity embracing or securing a garment. No clearly readable hieroglyphs or other alphabetic inscriptions are visible. No cartouches or royal names are present. The image does not show Greek/Coptic/Arabic text.
