A standing, human-headed Egyptian statue with a wig, broad collar, and a kilt, rendered in dark stone.
The image shows a full-height, frontal statue of a seated/standing kneeling human figure with a tightly curled wig and simplified facial features. The figure wears a broad kilt/robe covering the lower body and a prominent necklace/broad collar with a central rectangular section. A belt or wrap is suggested at the waist. The hands are carved close to the body; the left hand appears to rest near the side of the torso. No clear hieroglyphic inscription is visible on the front or base at this resolution. The stone surface has a speckled, granular appearance consistent with a dark igneous rock. Overall iconography suggests a deity or royal attendant statue, but specific deities or royal names are not legible in the provided view.
