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.

A small seated female Egyptian deity figure presented frontally, with a long wig/headdress, a collar, and a red-painted garment, holding an attribute across the torso.

The image shows a bronze-colored statue of a seated woman (interpreted as Isis per the catalogue) on a rectangular base. The figure has a headpiece/diadem and long, tightly rendered wig or headdress that frames the face. She wears a broad collar/pectoral and a fitted garment over the torso. One hand is held across the body and the other is raised toward it, suggesting the holding of a ritual attribute; the exact implement is indistinct at this resolution. The skirt is patterned with incised or painted decorative bands, including a prominent wing-like fan or scale motif at the center and additional linear registers down the front. The base is inscribed with multiple lines of hieroglyphs or incised decorative text; the individual signs are not clearly legible in the provided image. Traces of red and green/black pigment are visible, consistent with painted inlays or surface decoration. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No readable royal cartouche is apparent. The visible surface suggests metal with colored inlay or painted details, but the specific “gold and electrum inlay” cannot be confirmed visually beyond the presence of reflective gilded-like highlights and colored areas.
