A small funerary figure stands upright, painted/green-blue encrusted with a beaded face and a stylized wig/headdress, arms crossed over the chest.
The object is a human-shaped funerary figurine/funeral statuette with a flat, upright torso and legs; the head is topped with a dark, stylized headdress/wig and the face shows large, inlaid-looking eyes. The hands are clasped across the chest in a seated/standing prayer-like pose typical of Egyptian funerary figures. The surface is uniformly covered with a turquoise/green-blue patina consistent with glassy glaze or faience-like coating; the body form suggests molded manufacture. No clearly legible hieroglyphs or inscriptions are visible on the provided view. No royal cartouche is apparent. Overall condition appears good with wear consistent with age.
