A painted wooden standing Osiride figure with a mummiform body and a human-like head wearing a kilt and a broad wig/headdress, with vertically arranged carved hieroglyphs on the torso.
The object is a single carved and painted wooden figure standing upright on a rectangular base. The figure has a stylized human head with glassy/painted eyes and a short beard, wearing a broad wig or head covering that frames the face. The body is mummiform and wrapped with bands of carved and painted decoration. On the lower torso/stomach region there is a prominent vertical column of carved hieroglyphs extending downward, with additional smaller carved elements around the upper torso (colors appear muted with age). No modern labeling text is visible in the photograph. The overall pose and iconography are consistent with an Osiride (mummiform) figure, though the specific name “Kenamun” and any associated cartouche cannot be read clearly from this image.
