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.

Bronze figurines of multiple Egyptian deities standing in a group on a rectangular base, shown in dark green patina.

The image shows four small seated/standing deity figures (likely male and female-coded by pose and regalia) clustered close together and facing forward. Each figure wears distinct headdresses: the leftmost has a tall, plumed/crown-like element; the second appears with a headpiece resembling a horned or conical crown; the third has a more rounded headdress; the rightmost holds one hand raised in a gesture and has a tall, vertically ribbed crown. The figures wear long, fitted garments/robes and have stylized faces with strong outlines. The group rests on a speckled, rectangular stone or metal base. A dark green corrosion/patina is visible across the figures, consistent with bronze oxidation; a small red residue is noticeable near the right side of the group/between figures. No legible inscriptions or glyph text are visible on the image surface. The overall style suggests a small bronze devotional/ritual group statue.
