Photograph of the upper half of a painted sandstone female statue head and shoulders wearing a hooded headdress and stylized wig.
The image shows a stone figure from the upper torso upward: a smooth, rounded head with almond-shaped eyes, arched brows, and a straight nose; the lips are closed and the expression is calm. The figure wears a hooded headdress (or headscarf) that frames the face and extends down the sides, with a painted line suggesting hair/wig strands along the lower edge. The neck and upper chest area are visible, with traces of paint and possible incised or molded details around the collar/neck region. The object is broken and incomplete below the shoulders, consistent with an “upper half” sculpture. No readable carved inscriptions or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text are visible in the provided view. No cartouche or royal titulary can be identified with confidence.
