The statuette is of a man kneeling and holding the stela before him. The pedestal of the statuette had two lines of inscription, partially illegible. The figure wears a bipartite wig, this and his facial features are painted in black, the rest of his body is painted red, apart from the short kilt. The colour had been partly restored in modern times.
The stela depicts the goddess Hathor standing and facing a standing figure of the deified Queen Nefertari, above them are inscribed their names and epithets. In the register below this are the deceased, Amenhotep, and his son. The two men are shown kneeling with hands upraised and facing one another, two vertical lines of inscription give their names and titles.
The technique was described as fair, the statue had been broken across and mended.
There also was a stela belonging to Amenhotep in our collection (see number M13923).
