A small carved female standing figure with arms down at the sides, depicted with a stylized head and torso and a short, narrow waist and skirt-like lower body.
The image shows a single, vertically oriented wooden carving of a female figure against a dark background. The head is represented in a simplified oval form with a slightly raised forehead/crown area. The figure’s body is tall and slender, with both arms hanging down; the upper arms are separated slightly from the torso and the hands/forearms are tapered. A V-/curving neckline is suggested at the chest, and the torso is decorated by a central raised element in the lower midsection (possibly a stylized belt or emblem). The lower body narrows to the legs and ends in simplified, rounded feet or ends of the figure. No clear carved hieroglyphs, cartouches, or readable text are visible on the surface in this photograph. The object appears light-colored and worked, consistent with the catalogue’s material identification; the surface shows minor pitting/abrasion but remains largely intact.
