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 standing male figure with a shaved/bald head depicted as a small statuette, shown frontally on a rectangular base.

The image shows a single full-length male figure posed upright with arms held close to the body. The head appears largely bald or shaved, with a smooth crown and simplified facial features. The figure wears a short, form-fitting garment that ends above the knees, with a belt or waistband suggested at the waist. The hands are relaxed; the left hand holds an object at the side that is too indistinct to identify confidently. The figure’s legs are defined with the feet set forward on the base. No clearly legible hieroglyphic inscription, cartouche, or other text is visible on the figure or base in this view. The background is plain, and the object is photographed as a studio image.
