Figure of a kneeling king. He is wearing a nemes decorated with a uraeus. The arms are missing. Two round protrusions are present on the thighs, perhaps the remains of the now missing hands or bronze elements connecting the thighs to the hands, or remains of nw pots. The king is probably wearing a kilt, although it is not clearly visible. Under the knees there is a tenon, in which a modern pin has been inserted. The feet are under the buttocks, the toes are modelled. A modern pin has been inserted under the feet. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
