The finding of the sculpture in Deir el-Medina is documented by a famous photo in the historical archive of the Museo Egizio. This photo reveals that the statue, probably originally located in a funerary chapel, had already been removed from its original context at the time of its discovery. The texts on the back of the statue bear invocations to the Theban triad (Amun, Mut and Khonsu), to Re-Horakhty and to the main deities of the underworld, while below are represented images of children in the act of paying homage to their parents. The statue is carved in white Theban limestone and shows the attention to fine detail typical of the sculptors of the Place of Truth (Deir el-Medina). The features of the faces are carefully carved. From the presence of some slight asymmetries one may think that the craftsman who carved the statue was more used to sculpting in relief than in the round.
