Fragmentary standing Osiride-style Egyptian statue in limestone, shown from mid-torso to feet with arms crossed/held over the chest and a partial figure face/upper body visible.
The image shows a tall, columnar human figure posed in an Osiride-style stance: arms are held at the chest/abdomen area (appearing folded or clasped), the body tapers slightly upward, and the lower legs rest on a rectangular base. The head/face area is only partially visible due to cropping and lighting; a small engraved/painted detail resembling a face or headdress-like form is present but not clearly readable. The surface is light-colored stone with visible weathering and tool marks. The background includes other stone fragments and a wall-mounted display, suggesting a museum gallery setting. On the figure’s torso/upper body there appear to be faint incised marks consistent with inscriptions or iconographic detailing, but no clear, legible text is visible in the provided photo. No clearly discernible cartouche or royal name is readable from this image.
