This exquisite statuette depicts Path standing on a platform shaped as the hieroglyph for maat. His body is enveloped by a tightly fitting robe leaving exposed only his hands with bracelets on wrists holding a was-scepter; he wears a scull-cap, a broad collar and a pleated artificial beard. The eyelids, brows, collar, bracelets, beard and its strings and the eye and the ear of the finial of the scepter are inlayed with gold. The right, back and left sides of the platform bear a line of hieroglyphs.
