Statuette: Seated Mummiform Deity

Cleveland Museum of Art

A bronze statuette of a mummiform deity, likely depicting Ptah or Osiris, standing with a slender, elongated body covered in a long, wrapped garment. The figure's face is not visible. The statuette's surface exhibits a predominantly green patina with areas of brown and orange, suggesting age and oxidation. The arms are bent at the elbow and positioned at the chest. A short, curved line on the chest may represent a collar or necklace. The overall form is stylized and simplified. The statuette stands on a flat base. The background transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom. Statuette: Seated Mummiform Deity.
