Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

Small bronze figurine of a mummiform youth standing on a rectangular base, wearing a side-lock wig and holding one hand up to the mouth while the other arm hangs at the side.

The image shows a single standing figure associated with Egyptian child/juvenile deity iconography. The figure has a bald/closely shaven head with a prominent wig or tripartite side-lock hairstyle and wears a short kilt. The right hand is raised near the mouth in a gesture consistent with “Harpokrates” iconography (finger/hand to mouth), while the left arm hangs down. A large, mushroom-like headdress sits atop the head—interpretable as an ornate crown/element rather than a full feathered atef—though the precise type cannot be confidently determined from the photograph. The figure’s style and materials are consistent with a small cast bronze votive statue. No clear hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible on the object or base in this image, and no cartouches are readable.
