A kneeling Egyptian royal statue shown seated on a rectangular base, with a tripartite wig and a frontal, garment-covered body.
The image shows a full frontal view of a large kneeling statue: the figure is seated with legs drawn under the body and arms held forward, hands resting near the lower torso. The head wears a broad, tripartite-style wig/pendant headdress, and the face is carved with a straight nose and defined eyes. The torso and arms are covered by a tailored garment and sash elements, rendered in stone with worn surface details. The statue stands on a thick, rectangular plinth/base. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other inscriptions are visible in the provided image; any markings appear too indistinct to read. The catalogued material (granite) cannot be independently verified from the image texture alone, but the sculpture appears as a dark, stone-like material with weathering and erosion consistent with carved stone.
