Small dark stone statuette of a standing female figure wearing a tall headdress, photographed against a neutral background.
The object appears to be a miniature carved figure shown standing upright in profile/three-quarter view. The figure’s head is topped by a tall, narrow headdress with incised lines suggesting folds or ornamentation. The torso is carved with shallow grooves and angular detailing around the arms and waist, consistent with stylized ancient Egyptian statuary. No clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible on the visible faces of the figure. The surface has a polished/finished look with slight chips at the top; overall it reads as a small freestanding figure rather than a relief. The overall coloration is dark blue-black, but the material cannot be confirmed from the image alone.
