An oval, green stone plaque with a pale carved relief figure standing on a line, facing left, with minimal visible detail.
The object is an oval plaque photographed against a light background. The surface appears uniformly green and semi-matte, consistent with a carved stone relief. A single pale, raised figure in profile stands on a horizontal base line; the form suggests a personified concept or deity figure, but the facial features, headdress, and staff/attributes are too indistinct to identify confidently. No clear hieroglyphic text, cartouches, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic inscriptions are visible in the image provided. The catalogue title specifies a representation of Maat; however, the image resolution/clarity does not allow definitive confirmation of classic Maat attributes (e.g., the ostrich-feather motif or scale imagery).
