Stone bust of an Egyptian official wearing a nemes-style wig/headcloth with side flaps, shown from the upper chest up.
The image shows a carved stone bust with a head-and-shoulders presentation. The figure wears a long, pleated headcloth/wig (nemes) that falls over the sides, with distinct horizontal ribbing across the top and vertical side elements. The face has almond-shaped eyes with simplified pupils and arched brows; the mouth and nose are rendered in low relief with a symmetrical, idealized expression. The chest is bare, with shallow incised indications of musculature and small cut marks/imperfections on the surface. No clear inscription bands or hieroglyphic text are visible on the bust in this view. No readable cartouche or royal titulary is present in the photograph. The object is mounted on a modern gold-colored stand; the stone surface appears light gray/greenish consistent with schist, but the exact material cannot be confirmed beyond visual appearance from the image alone. No deities are explicitly identifiable from iconography in the photograph; the subject appears to be a standard official/representational figure rather than a named deity.
