Description
Content (description)
An Egyptian female wearing a wig with two cobras (?) on her forehead stands with her right arm by her side, her left arm bent at the elbow and holding a 'roll' in her left hand between her breasts. The statue seems nude, but there are traces of a skirt over the left leg. At the right is a detail of a hieroglyphic panel, presumably at the base of the statue.
