The bust of a female statue. The face, characterized as no longer young, is framed by a heavy and elaborate wig crowned by a wreath of lotus flowers, with two short tresses in front and three long ones behind. Around the neck is a decorated usekh collar; on the shoulders, the remains of the elaborate drapery of the dress (or of a cloak) are still visible. The right arm hangs down along the side, while the left one is bent, the hand holding a lotus flower. On the back, the upper part of the back of a seat can be seen.
