Statue of a standing male figure with a formal posture.
The artifact is a wooden statue of a male figure in a traditional striding pose. The figure is depicted with a short wig and a kilt. The arms are positioned with one at the side and the other extending forward. Traces of red-brown paint are visible, indicative of the style found during certain Egyptian periods. Some of the surface details, such as the facial features, are well-preserved, though parts of the arms and limbs show wear.
