The block statuette of Hor is complete. It shows Hor squatting on a pedestal, wrapped in his cloak, with a back pillar. His hands rest on his knees, his right hand holding an ankh-sign, his left hand holds an object identifiable as the lettuce-plant associated with Min. He wears a smooth wig that does not cover his ears. The statue bears an inscription in three horizontal lines running around it on the cloak. On the back pillar one vertical line of text is inscribed.
(1) A boon which the king gives to Amun-Re, Lord of the Thrones of the Two Lands (Karnak), foremost of Ipet-sut (Luxor), that he may cause [him] to go out as a ba-soul and to endure as a mummy (2) while he offers offerings and libations to the ka of the god's father, the prophet of Amun-Re king of the gods, (3) the fourth prophet of Amun, Hor justified, zon of Montuemhat, born of the mistress of the house Neskhons. (4) City god! The god's father, fourth prophet of Amun, Hor; place yourself behind him.
