Description: | Hierolgyphic inscriptions on lap and around knees: 'The overseer of the interior, the justified, Shesmu-hotep'.
Serpentine statuette of a man named Shesmu-hotep, sitting cross-legged with a cloak wrapped his body. His right arm rests on his right knee, and he holds his left hand flat on his chest. His shoulder-length hair, large ears, and well-defined face are characteristic of late Middle Kingdom sculpture. The statuette has a deep, square base, which might have been set into a carved stone altar or offering basin.
