This statue of the Vizier Hor, with his let leg folded
to the chest while his right rests on the ground is
rather unusual. The form appears sporadically in the Old
Kingdom and was sometimes revived during the New
Kingdom. However, the style is also documented in
various statues after the New Kingdom.
