The arms are crossed right over left on the chest, and the hands hold a pair of hoes modelled in relief. The face has eyes with brows added in black. A large diamond-hatched rectangular basket with shoulder straps is painted quite low on the back. A vertical column of hieroglyphs on the front reads, "The Osiris, Yi-hetep-em-Mut, justified".
