This statuette, which represents a female figure standing on a pedestal and leaning on a back pillar, arms at her side, bears many characteristics of female statuary of the 13th Dynasty: thick facial features, large ears, heavy bipartite wig that falls in curls upon the breast, disproportionate arms, hands and feet are all remarkable attributes of the production of this period. There is a hieroglyphic inscription on the back pillar, written in columns and painted white, that allows the identification of this lady. The customary funerary offering formula can be read.

Cette statuette, qui représente une femme debout sur un socle, appuyée sur un pilier dorsal, les bras collés au corps, a beaucoup des particularités de la statuaire féminine de la XIIIème Dynastie: les traits du visage épais, les grandes oreilles, la lourde perruque bipartite retombant en boucles sur la poitrine, les bras, les mains et les pieds disproportionnés font partie des caractéristiques remarquables de la production de cette époque. Une inscription hiéroglyphique, écrite en colonne sur le pilier dorsal et passée à la peinture blanche, permet d'identifier cette dame. On y lit la formule d'offrande funéraire habituelle.
