He is wearing a short wig with a braid sticking out on the right side. The hands, crossed on the chest, emerge from the mummiform shroud that covers the entire body. On the body there is a vertical record of hieroglyphic writing that translates as follows: "May Osiris, Son of the King, (priest) Sem, Khaemwaset, fair of voice, be enlightened." XIX.
