A dark stone sculpture fragment depicting the head and upper torso of a seated Egyptian man, shown in profile facing right.

The image shows a monochrome photograph of a dark stone (catalogued as such) statuette fragment, consisting of a rounded, polished head and the upper torso of a seated male figure. The figure has a compact, stylized hairstyle: the head is smooth and rounded with a side curl/lock suggested near the ear area. The face is carved in low relief with downcast or half-lidded eyes and a straight nose; the mouth is simplified. The man’s clothing appears minimal on the torso, with a banded collar and a vertical strap-like element across the chest. On the chest/neck area there are carved incised lines that could represent a small sign cluster, but the shapes are not clear enough to identify specific hieroglyphs reliably. There is no visible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text. No royal cartouche or clear royal name is visible. The sculpture stands atop a modern-looking rectangular base; no additional inscription is visible on the base or surrounding areas.
