A small dark bronze seated figure with a wig-like hairstyle and a stylized garment block, photographed front-on against a plain background.
The image shows a compact, seated statuette viewed from the front. The figure has a rounded, wig-like headdress or hair mass over the head, with the face rendered in low relief; the facial details are worn/soft but a mouth and nose form are visible. The body is integrated into a smooth, block-like torso and lap, suggesting a seated posture with hands resting close to the body; fine details of arms/legs are not clearly defined due to surface wear. No clear inscription bands, cartouches, or legible hieroglyphs are visible on the figure in this photograph. The overall surface is dark and mottled, consistent with aged metal. There is no clearly visible separate plinth text or Greek/Coptic/Arabic writing in the image.
