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.

Small Egyptian faience figure depicting a seated/standing female personification associated with the concept of Maat, shown front-facing with hands/arms positioned at the torso and a legged base.

The image shows a small glazed faience object in blue-green tones. The figure is roughly human-shaped and front-facing, with a head and a simplified facial area and a garment/torso shape. The lower portion includes a rectangular/flat base or lap-like element. Incised or molded detailing is visible around the torso and near the hands/arms, though fine facial and garment features are worn/abraded. No clearly legible hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible in the provided view. There is no Greek/Coptic/Arabic script apparent. The overall form is consistent with a small votive/figurative amuletic object rather than a flat inscribed tablet.
