The Global Egyptian Museum

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.
