The image shows a small, dark bronze sculpture of a seated male figure holding a pedestal-like object in front of his chest, with a tall, cylindrical back element and a raised head.

A standing/sitting male figure is depicted in profile facing left, with a long, narrow headdress or cap and a simple bodily posture. He holds a small, box-like pedestal (or statue base) with both hands, positioned near his torso; behind/above it rises a tall, cylindrical element with a flat top, resembling the upright back or support of the held object. The surface is dark and worn, with highlights indicating casting and age-related patina. No legible hieroglyphs or inscriptions are visible on the figure, pedestal, or base. The object is mounted on a light-colored modern or cleaned stone/plinth base (likely display support), which is visually distinct from the bronze. No text in Greek, Coptic, or Arabic is visible.
