A small dark bronze Egyptian statuette depicts a seated female deity with a long headdress/vertical plumed element and an upraised arm, resting on a shrine-like base.
The object is shown standing upright for viewing: a slender, seated figure with a side profile faces left. The deity wears a tall, narrow headdress with a projecting vertical element above the head; her facial features are carved in low relief. One arm is raised toward the chest while the other appears to rest down along the body. The figure sits on a shrine or plinth-like support rendered as a stepped rectangular base. No legs are clearly delineated from the overall block-like seat and base. The surface is darkened, consistent with bronze patination. The image background is plain and there is no visible text on the photograph. There are no clearly legible hieroglyphs, and no cartouche is visible in the provided view.
