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.
A small bronze/cupreous-alloy standing male figure holding a long staff in one hand and wearing a tall, conical crown. The figure has a clasped/pose with arms at the waist and a raised leg-like stance.
The image shows a dark, patinated metal statuette of a kneeling/standing male deity in profile view, head and torso upright. The figure wears a tall, slender conical crown (with a darker band near its base) and a fitted garment covering the torso and legs. One hand holds a long staff (or spear-like implement) angled upward; the other arm appears bent with the hand at the lower torso/hip area. The overall style and iconography are consistent with a war/weapon-associated god (e.g., Onuris/Anhur) rather than a human ruler. No clear hieroglyphic inscriptions, cartouches, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text are visible on the visible surfaces. No explicit base or mounting is shown beyond the standing feet on a plain surface.
