Previously reported BV photometry of MT Her is analyzed with the aid of efficient curve-fitting techniques. There is insufficient overall data to allow a definitive parameterization of the binary, but the possibility of a classical Algol can be confidentially ruled out. A provisional model is advanced which consists of two close unevolved dwarfs; the primary (a late F-type) and the secondary (a mid K-type). The system is located at a distance of about 250 pc in a region of fairly heavy interstellar extinction near the Galactic disk. It may be a 'short-period RS CVn'-type binary, but this possibility, as the provisional model itself, requires spectrographic confirmation.
