This statue is composed in the classic Middle
Kingdom tradition, with the stately figure sitting
on a chair with a low back and resting his feet on a
projected base. He has both hands placed on the knees,
the left flat and palm down, while the right is closed
and placed horizontally, holding a piece of cloth. Note
that the wig has no parting
