A small standing Egyptian-style bronze statuette of a seated/standing male figure with a bald head, wearing a beaded necklace and a patterned garment, holding his hands at the lower torso.

The image shows a single bronze/cupreous metal statuette standing on a modern wooden plinth. The figure has a smooth, bald head and a calm, simplified face with closed or downcast eyes. The chest bears a collar/necklace with bead rows across the upper torso. A patterned band and apron-like garment are visible at midsection, with a horizontal element across the lower torso. The hands are held close to the body, with one hand slightly forward. The lower legs are rendered in a simplified manner, and the overall surface shows dark green/oxidized patina consistent with copper alloy corrosion. No clear hieroglyphic inscription, cartouche, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible on the photographed surfaces. No explicit deity attributes (e.g., distinctive crowns) are clearly discernible; the subject is consistent in general form with a historical/learned figure such as Imhotep, but the specific identifier cannot be confirmed from inscriptions in this view.
