A small terracotta Egyptian statuette depicting a nude female figure standing with the arms held across the torso, wearing a wig/headdress and a patterned garment around the hips.
The image shows a seated/standing-in-stature terracotta statuette with a stylized human form. The head has a rounded wig or headdress with incised/rounded hair details; the face is simplified with a prominent nose and outlined eyes/mouth. The figure’s right arm appears folded inward across the chest while the left arm is bent, with hands positioned near the torso. The torso is nude, with a line indicating the abdomen and a small circular marking on the upper body. Around the hips is a triangular apron/garment indicated by a raised border and dense incised dot/line pattern. A raised vertical seam-like line divides the lower front, suggesting moulding joins or carved paneling. No readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, or text are visible on the body or base in the provided view. The object stands on a rectangular modern plinth; the original surface shows wear and small chips typical of pottery/terracotta artifacts.
