Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

A small fragmentary clay figurine of a nude/close-fitting female form, shown from about the waist up with one arm raised and legs extending downward.

The image shows a grey, hand-modeled clay figurine fragment with a narrowed midsection and tapered lower body. The torso appears smooth and partially worn, with a stylized head/upper body suggesting a seated or standing female figure. One arm is bent and raised near the chest/shoulder area; the other arm is broken or less clearly preserved. The lower portion includes simple contours indicating legs and garment-free anatomy; surface details are eroded and irregular, consistent with age or excavation breakage. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible on the preserved surfaces. No identifiable Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is present.

funerary Middle Kingdom to early New Kingdom (per catalogue); figurine style is consistent with that general range but exact dating is unclear from the fragment alone. fragmentary
