Stone sculpture fragment showing a seated/standing female figure’s upper body and head with braided hair and a pointed/rounded headdress.
The image depicts a small, vertically oriented sculpture fragment of a human figure shown from the torso up. The head has a simplified facial profile with the eyes indicated by shallow incisions; the hair appears arranged in two rounded, braided-looking sections flanking the face and falling at the sides. The figure wears or is associated with a broad, rounded garment covering the upper chest and shoulders; the chest and collar/neck area are modeled in relief. The object is broken or truncated below the torso, and only the upper portion is preserved. There is no clearly legible hieroglyphic text and no visible cartouche. A modern brass support rod is attached through the lower break area. The surface shows weathering and minor spalling consistent with an archaeological stone piece.
