This mummy-shaped figure of the god comes from a tomb. It bears a crown on its head composed of ram's horns, two feathers, and a solar disk. The face, which is the only exposed part of the deity, has been gilded. His broad collar consists of numerous colourful rows of beads which terminate in two falcon's heads. The figure was split from top to bottom and hollowed out in order to contain something precious. The invocation in the vertical line of inscription at the front and the back names the tomb owner, a certain Djed-her [Djehó], born of Kar.
