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.
Small standing female figure, nude or near-nude, with a highly stylized wig and beaded/striped head covering, shown frontally.
The image shows a small, vertically oriented molded/carved figure of a woman standing upright. She is represented nude from the torso down, with the arms held close to the sides and the legs straight. Her head has a structured, patterned headdress/tilted wig with transverse striping and a net-like or lattice appearance over the top of the head. The facial features are minimal and worn. The torso and hips are simplified in a manner consistent with small figurines. The surface appears darkened or abraded, with visible pitting/holes and loss at some points (notably around the lower body). No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other text are visible in the provided image. No deities are explicitly indicated by iconographic attributes (e.g., specific crowns or emblems) beyond the general depiction of a woman. The catalogue description as “Figure of a Nude Woman” appears broadly consistent with what is visible.
