A small turquoise-blue faience statuette depicts a kneeling male figure holding his hands together and seated on a rectangular throne-like base.
The artifact shows a kneeling, human-form figure (possibly a divine or royal personification) with a head and headdress/pony-like element. The figure sits upright on a simple rectangular base, with both hands held close at the chest area or near the torso. The front of the base and the lower garment are decorated with incised linear and block-like patterns resembling stylized inscriptions or paneling. The overall surface is glossy and uniform in color, consistent with turquoise-blue glazed faience. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other scripts can be read from the provided image, and there is no visible Greek/Coptic/Arabic text. The pose and iconography are consistent with a typical Egyptian statuette format; however, specific identification of “Re-Harakhty” (or any royal name) cannot be confirmed directly from visible text in this view.
