A small carved dark stone figure of an animal with a long, pointed snout (cynocephalus/monkey-like form), shown standing upright on a base.
The image shows a single, small dark stone sculpture photographed against a light background. The figure is upright with a rounded head and a pronounced, narrow snout projecting forward. The face has incised details suggesting closed eyes and a small mouth area. The body is compact and rounded, with minimal but visible carving for the torso and limbs; the feet rest on a small rectangular/rounded base. No painted color or metal elements are visible. The overall style and subject appearance are consistent with a small cynocephalus figure, matching the museum catalog title. There is no readable inscription visible on the surfaces shown, and no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is apparent.
