Bronze/metal statuette of a kneeling figure seated on a rectangular base, holding a tray or bowl-like vessel in front.
The image shows a small kneeling human figure rendered in dark metal with a slightly oxidized/greenish surface.

The body is seated on a multi-tier rectangular base (stone or metal) with visible marbling/veining. No clear hieroglyphic inscription, cartouche, or legible text is visible on the figure or base in this photograph. No identifiable deities or specific royal names are clearly readable from the image.
