A small standing Egyptian deity figure wearing a tall crown, shown frontally with arms at the sides, on a modern support base.
The image shows a bronze-colored, human-shaped statue of a deity standing upright in a frontal pose. The figure wears a dark, tall crown/hood-like headdress and a stylized wig framing the face; the face is painted or inlaid with gold-toned details around the eyes and lips, and the eyes appear inlaid. A broad collar or necklace is suggested at the neck, and several horizontal bands/rows of inlay decorate the upper torso area. The right hand is raised slightly forward with fingers indicated; the left arm hangs at the side. No readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other inscriptions are visible on the statue surface in this view. The object stands on a stepped, darker base which rests on a modern light-colored mount. The catalogue title is “Neith Standing,” and the figure’s crown/headdress and feminine-looking face with gold-toned inlay are broadly consistent with a standing goddess depiction, though the specific identification as Neith cannot be confirmed solely from this image.
