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 small bronze Egyptian figure showing a human-faced, mummiform or standing figure with a broad wig and a simplified torso, ending at the base in a rectangular element with triangular cutouts.

The object appears as a bronze figurine of a person with a stylized face (large almond-shaped eyes and a downturned mouth) and a striped or ribbed headdress/wig. The head tapers into a narrow neck and the body is rendered as a simple, lightly incised form. At the base, a rectangular plinth-like element is visible with multiple triangular voids/cutouts arranged in a grid, suggesting a modern manufacturing feature or a symbolic base element. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible in the provided image; any markings are too worn/unclear to transcribe confidently. The museum catalogue identifies the object as “Maat,” but the image does not provide explicit iconographic text or clear deity attributes to confirm this beyond the general presentation of an Egyptian figurine.
