Statuette of an ibis with an ostrich feather

Figure of an ibis with an ostrich feather. A suspension loop, composed of two bands, is present behind the neck. The long neck is sinuous. The ibis is striding with its left leg forward. In front of the ibis, there is what appears to be an ostrich feather, likely representing the goddess Maat. The group rests on a rectangular base. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
