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, blue-green stone/ceramic figure-like fragment with an abstracted standing form that could be related to the catalogue’s identification of “Maat.”
The image shows a compact, vertically oriented object with a solid silhouette. The surface is predominantly blue with patches of darker blue and lighter turquoise tones, suggesting a colored mineral or painted surface. A rounded, tapering upper portion and a broader mid-to-lower section are visible, forming an abstract human/standing profile rather than clear iconographic details like a distinct feather, crown, or hieroglyphs. No carved hieroglyphs, cartouches, or readable text are visible. Because the object’s iconography is not clearly legible from the image, any identification as the goddess/concept Maat cannot be confirmed visually, though the overall blue stone appearance is consistent with an identification involving lapis-like material.
