Painted wooden Egyptian funerary figure with a tall feather-like crown and hieroglyphic inscriptions on a dark background.

Ptah-Sokar-Osiris Figure inscribed for Pestjauwymin

A standing wooden funerary figure of a mummiform deity, its body covered in painted hieroglyphic columns and a broad collar. The tall, flat crown rises above a head with a painted face, set on a small rectangular base against a dark gradient backdrop.

Look closer: Small painted hieroglyphic columns run down the front of the body beneath the collar.
