The lady Khent, whose full name was Khentit-ka, is seated upright on a broad seat. Her hands are placed flat on her thighs. She is wearing a wig falling onto her shoulders which is parted in the middle. Her own natural hair is parted in the same way, as is visible on the forehead. She is dressed in an ankle-length dress with two shoulder straps, as was usual for ladies at that time. The upper seam and the straps are only indicated on the statue in paint. Against the facade of the seat to the left of the lady's legs stands a small boy. In accordance with the rules of Egyptian iconography, he is characterized as a child by the lock of youth on the side of his head, by the finger to his mouth, and by his nakedness.
