The figure appears to be covered in a layer of dirt, and much of the paintwork is in reasonable condition, however the paint in some areas (such as the base) has come away in reasonably large flakes. The base is inscribed with a prayer on behalf of Djehuty[...?], scribe and 'Servant/Prophet of Horus of Edfu' at the Temple of Horus, in Edfu. The appearance of the figure (along with the regionality of mother's name) suggests it was made in Akhmim. This is supported by close visual, and textual, similarities with other attested examples in other museum collections. Two columns of inscription on the front of the figure, and two columns of inscription on the reverse. The yellow colour of the base represents the sands of Rosetau, a location originally linked with the Memphite necropolis, but later referring to necropoleis in general, and the name for the entrance to the ancient Egyptian underworld. Sokar was the principal god of this region. Surrounding the base is a band of blue, emphasising the upright Osiris (represented by the figure) as surrounded by water, like the Osireion at Abydos. Thus, the base (as a microcosm of a tomb) is the primeval mound rising from the primeval water, seen to have a rejuvenating effect on the deceased.
