Front view of a black granite block statue of an Egyptian official with a wig and a painted/engraved horizontal inscribed register on the front body.

The artifact is shown standing upright in a studio photograph with a rounded wig or headdress covering the head and framing the face. The figure’s face is stylized with inset eyes and a defined nose and mouth, and the arms are folded across the chest as typical for block statues. The front of the block body contains a dense rectangular field of carved hieroglyphs arranged in horizontal lines/registers. The object rests on a simple rectangular base. The surface appears dark and finely worked consistent with black granite; the lighting highlights minor surface wear and tool marks, especially around the base and lower inscribed area.
