A headless limestone statue of a standing male figure wearing a traditional kilt.
The artifact is a limestone statue depicting a male figure standing upright. The statue is headless and arms are missing, with emphasis on the torso and legs, suggesting it might have been part of a larger composition or set within a niche. The figure is dressed in a skirt-like garment typical for Egyptian statues of royals or officials. The absence of the head and hands suggests significant damage, yet the remainder of the body retains detailed sculptural features characteristic of skilled craftsmanship.
