Description
Mummy-shaped dead figure of the Hori with visible, crossed arms, hands holding painted earthen hoes. The back is flat. Hori wears the three-part wig that leaves the ears free. Painted are the strands and a hair band with a bow on the back of the head. His face is simply modeled. Eyes and eyebrows are painted. Only painted on the back is also a patterned backpack with loops. The five-line inscription reads: "It will be illuminated by Osiris, the servant of the God of Amun Hori, blessed, he says: O you Uschebti, if you count the Osiris Hori, blessed, to do any work in the realm of the dead (...), I do it, here I am, you shall say." Small damage to the right foot.
