Small standing bronze figure of a child-like deity holding one hand near the chest, standing on a rectangular base with an animal head/figure at the front.

The image shows a full, front-facing view of a small, dark greenish bronze statuette depicting a nude or minimally dressed child/young figure. The figure stands with legs apart and one arm bent up toward the torso; the other arm is down by the side, with the hand angled inward. The head is large in proportion to the body, with simplified facial features and a rounded hairstyle; no clear crown or specific headdress details are visible at this resolution. The statuette stands on a rectangular platform/base. At the front edge of the base there appears to be a sculpted animal head (possibly crocodile/ram-like) integrated into the support. The patina and casting texture are visible across the body and base. No clearly legible hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible on the figure or base in this image. No royal cartouche or named inscription is visible.
