Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
Painted figure of a man holding or presenting a bow and related equipment (bow case/quiver), shown from the torso to legs against an aged, torn-paper-like background.
The image shows a polychrome painted figure in Egyptian style: a standing male with a white/red face profile and a decorated garment. Large reddish-brown and dark bands appear across the torso and legs. A prominent curved dark-red object is positioned along the figure’s left side, with layered strap/band-like elements and a shield-like red element near the upper body, consistent with a bow case and quiver carrying apparatus. The background appears as off-white paper with irregular abrasions/tears and faint stains, suggesting a mounted drawing or reproduction. A small printed or painted catalogue number/date appears at the lower right margin (reads like “30.4-216”, exact characters slightly unclear). No clearly legible hieroglyphs, or cartouches are visible, and there is no identifiable Greek/Coptic/Arabic text.
