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 painted wooden ushabti-type funerary figurine standing upright with arms crossed over the chest and a wig-like headdress, wearing a patterned garment and blackened hieroglyphic markings across the body.

The image shows a small, vertically oriented Egyptian funerary figurine photographed against a plain background, standing on a dark rectangular base. The figure has a darkened (blackish) face with painted facial features and a straight, wig-like headdress covering the sides of the head. One arm appears to cross over the other at chest level, and the torso is covered with a light-painted garment rendered in panel-like bands and vertical stripes. The lower body and/or the front surface include dense, black-painted hieroglyphic signs in horizontal rows, suggesting an inscription naming and/or formula text typical of ushabti figures. The overall surface shows remnants of polychromy: the headdress is predominantly dark, while the garment and legs appear light (off-white/cream) with painted patterning; there is visible wear and loss of paint. No clearly legible cartouche or royal titulary is identifiable from this resolution, and the specific name “Kaha” cannot be confirmed visually from the available text. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No explicit metal components are visible; the substrate appears wooden based on the catalogue and the surface/paint characteristics.
