Full-length standing Egyptian bronze statuette wearing a crown and a fitted garment, shown in a studio photograph against a neutral background.

The object is a small, front-facing, full-length figure standing upright on a rectangular base. The head is topped by a tall, conical/feather-like crown with a narrow band across the top; the face has defined eyes and a composed expression. The torso is largely bare or tightly covered by a simple form-fitting garment that covers the waist and hips. One arm hangs at the side with the hand relaxed; the other arm is also down along the body. The body surface shows a dark greenish patina consistent with oxidized copper alloys. A rectangular plinth/base is visible beneath the feet. No legible hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or other inscriptions can be clearly read in this image, and no additional inscriptions in Greek/Coptic/Arabic are visible. The overall style suggests a Late Period small deity statuette, consistent with the catalogued subject.
