- This is a cast of a small statuette of a standing pharaoh. The figure stands stiffly with his left foot forward and arms at his side with fists clenched. He wears a head cloth, perhaps a nemes, and a wrap-around skirt that falls to just above his knees. His face is round with a broad nose. His musculature and other features are generally doughy. The figure has been painted black, perhaps to replicate an original in bronze. It stands on a tall, rectangular base, also painted black. The original from which this cast was taken remains to be identified.
