A small painted wooden standing male figure with a short wig-like headdress and a simple torso and arms, shown full-length against a dark background.
The artifact is presented as a standing male figure on a modern black base. The head has a molded face with inlaid/painted eyes and a short, rounded headdress or wig that frames the sides of the head. The torso is nude or minimally clothed, with traces of paint remaining on the chest and abdomen. One arm hangs at the side with the hand partially damaged; the other arm appears held slightly forward, with the forearm and hand also damaged. The figure’s lower body tapers to the legs; the feet are largely intact but abraded. Overall surface wear and flaking suggest age and/or handling. The visible paint appears largely earth-toned with remnants consistent with red, black, and white paint as stated in the catalogue, though exact color distribution is difficult to confirm due to abrasion. No clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or legible inscriptions are visible on the figure or base; no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is apparent. No explicit deity attributes or royal regalia are clearly identifiable from the available view.
