Clenched hands are placed on the chest, one above the other. Below the right hand begins a column of text with the name and filiation. At the back, from the edge of the wig to the feet, a pillar with a column of hieroglyphic inscriptions — the beginning of a hymn to Osiris, the heir of Atum. The figurine is painted cherry red; the visible parts of the body are yellow; the wig is navy blue; the necklace consists of white, red, and blue stripes. The background of the inscriptions is yellow. The figurine belongs to Isetemachbit, a musician of the god Amun-Re, daughter of the priest Mentuemhat; her mother was probably Takereret, known as Heres.
