This statuette in wood belongs to a category of objects which date from the end of the 18th Dynasty and from the 19th Dynasty. The person has a shaved head and wears two large undulating hair braids falling from the skull towards the top of the chin, whilst hiding the ears. The arms hang by the side of the body; the closed left hand still holds a fragment of a cane or another instrument. He wears a short pleated kilt up to the knees. On the socle we find a hieroglyphic text written on four horizontal lines.
