A carved wooden standing human figure shown in Osirid/Osiris-figure style, with blue-painted facial and textile details and vertical inscriptions on the torso.

The image shows a small standing, mummiform/Osirid-type figure with a rounded head and simplified facial features. The head and upper body have traces of paint, including a blue/greenish inlay across the brow/upper chest area and painted bands suggesting a collar or textile. The torso is covered by vertical lines of painted hieroglyph-like text, arranged in multiple rows/columns. The body is carved in a compact, frontal stance with arms held close to the sides; the sides of the figure show incised/painted details but no clearly discernible fully formed arms/hands in the provided view. No background context is visible beyond the studio mount base at the bottom.
