Bronze/copper-alloy statuette of a youthful standing figure with a raised arm and hands posed as if holding or raising an attribute, wearing a patterned wig or head covering.
The image shows a small full-length statuette standing upright on a rectangular, modern-looking wooden base. The figure has a youthful, beardless appearance and a rounded head with a raised headdress element (possibly a lock of hair or a horned/curled feature) and wears a short, fitted garment. One arm is raised upward while the other arm is positioned forward/bent, with the hands molded in a gesture consistent with holding an attribute or offering. The surface is dark reddish-brown with extensive green patina, indicating corrosion/oxidation typical of copper alloys. No clearly legible hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic inscriptions are visible on the photographed surfaces. No cartouche or royal name can be confidently identified from this image.
