A dark stone block statue shows a standing/bank-like seated figure with a broad head and stylized facial features, wearing a nemes-like head covering and inscriptions across the front and around the sides.

The image depicts a compact block statue of a male figure in black/dark stone. The head is rounded with a carved face and eyebrows, and a broad, pleated head covering/nemes-like form drapes over the sides. The front face and lower torso area are filled with dense, incised hieroglyphic text arranged in horizontal/vertical lines typical of block statues. The inscriptions are clearly present, though portions are difficult to read precisely at this resolution. No clearly legible Greek or Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The statue appears intact with the lower base preserved. The material visually matches a dark, fine-grained stone such as gabbro, though the exact identification cannot be verified from the photo alone.
