Painted funerary statuette depicting a jackal-headed figure wearing a tall, ceremonial collar and striped kilt-like garment.
The image shows a standing Egyptian-style figure with a black jackal (or jackal-headed) head and upright pointed ears. The figure is mounted on a rectangular base. The head and upper body are framed by a broad, polychrome ornamental element resembling a tall collar or ceremonial headdress. The torso and waist area are covered by layered painted bands and a broad, semicircular collar motif in red, greenish/teal, and cream tones. Below the collar is a striped kilt-like garment with alternating horizontal/vertical bands, and a small belt/pendant area in the front. The statue is clearly painted and plastered over a core, consistent with a wood object. No clearly legible hieroglyphic inscription is visible on the front in this view, and no cartouche or royal name can be confidently identified. The catalogue subject (Funerary Figure of Duamutef) is thematically consistent with jackal iconography used in funerary contexts, but the image does not allow confident identification of the specific figure name via inscriptions.
