A painted wooden Egyptian male statuette standing frontally on a rectangular base, with a shaven head and simplified facial features.
The image shows a small, full-length standing figure with arms hanging at the sides and legs together. The head is bald (no visible wig), with a rounded skull and stylized facial features (eyes and nose indicated in dark paint). The torso appears slender and bare; a white/cream painted garment wraps the lower body (from around the waist down to the knees/upper legs), while the arms and lower legs are left in a brown/red-brown skin tone. The statuette stands on a rectangular block base with worn edges and surface losses. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible on the body or base in this image. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The surface shows extensive wear consistent with an older wooden object with remaining traces of paint.
