The figurine is mummiform in appearance, wearing a striated tripartite wig and a divine braided beard. The arms are crossed over the chest, holding agricultural implements, specifically hoes. Several horizontal registers of incised hieroglyphic text encircle the body, although the specific inscriptions remain illegible at this resolution. The figure is supported by a vertical back pillar and stands upon an integral rectangular plinth.
