Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
An anthropoid, painted wooden figure base showing the lower torso of a standing deity-like figure with a wig-like headdress and a hieroglyphic inscription on the front.
The object is a compact, vertical, anthropoid base carved from wood and painted. The top portion depicts a stylized head with dark, wig-like hair and a painted face. The torso below is plain except for a vertical column of black hieroglyphs painted down the center/front of the body. The base pedestal is unpainted or minimally finished wood, indicating the piece is the lower/stand portion associated with a larger figure. No clear crowns, royal regalia, or complete iconography of Osiris (e.g., the crook/flail or green mummiform cues) are fully visible beyond the general deity figure format and the inscription. The visible inscription is too unclear in the image to confidently transcribe individual signs beyond noting a vertical sequence of hieroglyphic groups.
