Fragment of an Egyptian sculpture showing a carved right foot and portion of the lower leg, presented as part of a larger prostrate figure.
The image shows a horizontally oriented stone fragment with the detailed carved shape of a human right foot and lower leg segment. The foot and toes are modeled in relief/round sculpture style typical of royal or statue elements, with breakage and surface loss around the upper portion of the remaining leg. The background is plain and the fragment is photographed in three-quarter view, emphasizing the contours of the toes, ankle, and the tapered leg stump. No clear hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or named inscriptions are visible on this fragment. No deity attributes (e.g., specific crowns, divine emblems) are preserved in the visible area, and there is insufficient iconographic detail to distinguish whether the prostrate figure is Akhenaten or Nefertiti based on this fragment alone.
