A carved stone figure of a standing woman shown in profile, wearing a broad, draped headdress and a simple, fitted dress.

The image shows a standing female figure from head to base, posed upright with arms brought close to the body. The head is covered by a broad, rectangular headdress/drapery that frames the face; the facial features are stylized with the eyes and mouth carved in relief. The torso wears a plain, form-fitting garment that extends to the legs, with the skirt portion ending at a thick base. No visible hieroglyphic inscriptions, cartouches, or other text appear on the visible surfaces of the figure in this photograph. No visible pigments, inlays, or metal elements are apparent; the surface reads as plain stone with age-related wear and slight chipping, especially around the base and edges. The overall presentation aligns with a limestone statue type for a standing woman, as given by the museum catalogue.
