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 dark stone seated/standing figure is shown holding a small seated god/symbolic figure on its lap, with a stylized head and hands clasped in front.

The artifact appears to be a statue in a dark greenish/black stone. The larger figure has a smooth, idealized face with a headdress or closely fitted covering; one side shows a distinct ear. The arms are held close to the body, with both hands brought forward to support a smaller seated figure (or icon) placed between the arms and at chest level. The smaller figure has a pointed crown/hat-like top and sits upright with arms crossed or held close to the torso, suggesting a divine representation. No clear carved hieroglyphs or readable inscriptions are visible in the provided image, and no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text can be identified. Lighting and surface reflections obscure fine details, so the exact iconographic identification of the small seated figure beyond “Osirian/seated god form” is somewhat unclear, but it is consistent with the catalogue’s description of holding a seated statue of Osiris.
