A small Egyptian wooden statuette depicts a nude female figure standing frontally with arms at her sides and a wig-like headdress.
The object is a full-length, front-facing nude female statuette. The figure stands with feet planted on a rectangular base. The head is capped by a rounded, wig-like headdress or skullcap; the face has simplified, painted features (eyes and brows suggested). The body is modeled with a naturalistic torso, breasts, and hips; one hand is shown hanging at each side, with fingers minimally defined. The statuette is covered with traces of pigment/paint, including dark areas around the head and linear marks that may represent remnants of decoration. No clear hieroglyphs or cartouches are visible on the figure or base. The overall surface appears worn, with abrasions and losses consistent with age.
