Standing painted funerary figure with a ram/khnum-like cap and long inscribed body, surmounted by a tall, feathered or ribbed headdress and a small bull-horned element at the top.
The artifact shows a slim, human-shaped figure posed upright on a base. The head is covered by a tall, ribbed headdress topped with a rounded element; below it, a face with painted features and a wig/striped headcloth is visible. Around the shoulders and upper torso are painted bands and geometric patterns, with extensive black and red incised or painted decoration running vertically down the body. The top has a distinct horizontal element resembling horns/arms with a central round disk, consistent with iconography used for funerary-Osirian/Ptah-Sokar-Osiris figures, though the exact combination cannot be confirmed from the image resolution. The figure’s surface shows layered paint and abrasion consistent with an older wooden/paste surface. No readable modern labels or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text are visible.
