The image shows a seated/standing nude female sculpture holding one arm close to her body, wearing a tight head covering, set against a plain background above a dark marble base.

A stone female figure is shown in a full-figure view from head to base. The woman has a stylized, elongated face and a head covering (or close-fitting wig) that frames the head and covers the ears. Her arms are positioned close to her torso, with one hand held across the body. The figure appears carved in a dark, polished stone with a smooth surface and fine incised details on the face; no clearly legible text is visible on the body. The lower portion includes a darker, patterned stone/plinth/base that contrasts with the figure. Although the catalogue describes a “Broad Stele,” no inscribed or clearly identifiable broad stele/recumbent backing element with hieroglyphs is clearly visible in this image; the sculpture appears presented frontally with an overall monument-like silhouette.
