Group of statuettes with ibis and Maat on a base. The assemblage seems to be the result of a pastiche of ancient and modern parts. The ibis and the base appear ancient. The ibis has a long beak, curved downwards. The head is small and round, and the eyes are recessed for the now-missing inlay. The ibis has a collar. The final part of the body displays details of the feathers. The legs are glued to the body and are detailed with a loop pattern on the thighs; the legs are stubby and detailed. The figure of Maat appears to be modern. The goddess wears a feather on her head, has a wig decorated with vertical lines, and there are locks hanging from the wig, one from each side and a thicker one at the back. The goddess is in a squatting position, with her legs in front of her. She is wearing a dress that does not allow the limbs to be distinguished. The goddess rests on a square base. The group is placed on a bronze base, with the ibis standing on a pedestal in the form of a naos with a cavetto cornice and torus moulding with a slightly raised oval shape on the upper side. The base is smoothed. Inside the base, a piece of light-coloured wood, possibly palm wood, is tightly fitted; it looks ancient and is broken at the rear right corner and along one of the sides. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
