The mummiform shabti wears a plain wig and a plaited ceremonial beard. The arms are crossed right over left; the left hand holds a pick, the right hand a hoe with a rope, tied to a bag across the shoulder on the back. The statuette is provided with a pedestal and a back pillar, separated from the wig. The text is inscribed in one framed column on the front.
The modelling of the face is mediocre.
