Stone seated statue of an Egyptian scribe-like figure wearing a tripartite wig and holding a lap-held object, shown from the front.

The artifact is a small, weathered seated figure carved in dark gray stone. The figure sits upright with hands resting forward on the lap, where an indistinct rectangular form is depicted (possibly a writing tablet or papyrus bundle). The head has a stylized wig with broad, triangular ribbing/strands falling at the sides; the face is modeled with a smooth brow, straight nose, and simplified mouth. The torso and arms are worn and the inscription area is heavily abraded, but there appears to be a faint band of incised markings on the lower front/around the lap region. No clear animal or divine iconography is visible. No cartouche or royal name can be confidently read from the provided view.
