The image shows a painted Egyptian-style female portrait on a vertical wooden panel, with a gold-toned (gilded) wreath or halo behind the head and a modest head covering.

A rectangular, vertically oriented wooden panel is painted in encaustic style. The woman’s face is frontal with large painted eyes, pale complexion, and a small mouth; her hair/head area is framed by a broad gold leaf wreath/halo with dark painted decoration across it. She wears earrings (small loop/round forms), and layered neck adornments consisting of beaded/gem-like collar elements and a broader collar/garment at the chest. The background around the gold wreath and the garment below are painted in muted earth tones (gray-beige and dark brown/black), with gold leaf used prominently for the wreath/halo. No clearly legible hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible in the provided image. No cartouche or royal name is identifiable.
