Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

Full-length standing female figure with a tall, conical headdress, shown frontally against a plain background.

The image shows a small bronze/copper alloy statue of a standing, human-sized deity or royal personage rendered frontally. The figure wears a tall, conical crown/hat (exact type uncertain) and a full-body, tight garment. The arms hang at the sides with the right hand slightly separated from the body. The face has incised features and a darkened patina with visible corrosion and green malachite-like staining across the surface. No clear carved hieroglyphic inscription or cartouche is visible on the body or base in the provided view. The catalogue title is “Neit,” and the object’s iconography (standing female with characteristic headdress) could be consistent with Neit, but the photo alone does not provide definitive attributes (e.g., clear arrows/shield elements) to confirm with certainty.
