Wooden standing statuette of an Egyptian man holding what appears to be a long staff/standard, with a wig and broad garment pleats over the body.

The image shows a small human-form statuette standing upright on a rectangular wooden base. The figure is male-presenting, with a striated/headdress-wig that falls to the sides, a stylized beard, and a painted/inscribed facial treatment (no clear individual hieroglyphs visible). The torso is covered by a long, pleated, apron-like garment falling to the legs. One arm hangs downward near the side holding a rounded element at the hand; the other hand is raised toward the chest, also gripping an object that could correspond to a standard/staff. A dark, staff-like form rises behind/through the figure’s right side/under the raised arm, though the exact motif (e.g., Horus standard) cannot be confirmed from this image alone. No clear hieroglyphic text is visible on the figure or base. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is present.
