Bronze/copper-alloy kneeling male figure (mummiform/statue-like) holding an object that resembles a jar at the front.
The image shows a small metal sculpture of a kneeling human figure. The figure has a bald or tightly shaved head, a defined face, and a simple chest/torso with a belt-like band around the waist. The hands are held forward at the lower torso, and the right side includes a reddish-brown accent that may be paint or patinated surface. No clear facial inscriptions or distinctive regalia are visible. The kneeling pose and the forward-held item are consistent with the catalogue description of “Pediusir kneeling, holding a jar,” though the jar itself is not sharply defined in the image resolution. The object stands atop a rectangular wooden base, and the surrounding background is neutral.
