Is this some kind of pipe she's holding? Temerarius (talk) 15:40, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The object in the right hand is an incense burner, with the outward end shaped like an arm and the other end shaped like a falcon head. You can see similar burners in the Commons category here. A. Parrot (talk) 15:55, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Left hand, yes? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:25, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(sigh) Yes, silly me. A. Parrot (talk) 18:49, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, what might be the thing in the right hand? A wine container maybe? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 02:40, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably she's offering a libation. What we have is at Libation#Ancient Egypt.... AnonMoos (talk) 03:18, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There could be in it a reference to the Nile god, who is holding a similar vessel, perhaps the same vessel, the same way, here. That statuette displays much less elegance however (it's dated later too). --Askedonty (talk) 07:21, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A very similar libation vessel can be seen in this tablet where a priest is pouring out a liquid onto a lotus-shaped altar. A slightly different design of vessel is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Alansplodge (talk) 10:41, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can say that again, it's a silly and ugly chunk. The other vessel in the illustration is familiar from similar ones in hieroglyphs and pottery. Thank you! Temerarius (talk) 15:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
