This Iron meteorite from the Gebel Kamil strewn field presents a striking anthropomorphic shape, with a vertical stance and contours that naturally evoke the suggestion of a dancing figure. The surface displays characteristic regmaglypts and abrasion patterns formed during atmospheric entry, lending visual texture and depth throughout the specimen. Dark metallic tones are accented by lighter weathering along edges and depressions, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the form. Both visually compelling and naturally shaped, this Gebel Kamil meteorite offers collectors an especially evocative example of extraterrestrial material.
