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 bronze standing Egyptian deity figure (mummiform/standing frontal), with a broad collar and distinctive head-dress, shown full length on a base.

The object depicts a frontal, standing male figure with a shaved/closely cropped head and a raised, collar-like garment around the neck. The arms are held close to the body, and the hands appear positioned at the front of the torso. A long, narrow vertical element runs down the center of the body, with additional engraved or raised detailing across the chest and abdomen. The head and torso are rendered in dark bronze with highlights from casting/polishing. The feet stand on a rectangular plinth; the plinth top surface shows incised rectangular/striped elements, while the lower base appears to be part of the display mount rather than the original object. No clear hieroglyphs or other scripts are visible on the figure or base in the provided image. No royal cartouches are visible. The catalogue attributes the object to Ptah and as bronze; the material appearance (metallic bronze) is consistent, but the image does not provide unequivocal iconographic markers or readable inscriptions that can confirm Ptah specifically.
