The statue type is known as cubic stool figure - also called cube stool - offers the advantage that the entire surface can be covered with inscriptions. The person represented is a "divine father", a high priestly rank, called Har-kheb, whose father was the prophet of Amun in Karnak Hor, and whose mother was the temple musician of Amun Isis-reshuti [Esershôt]. The name Har-kheb is a more or less phonetic rendering of Hor-em-akhbit, "Horus is in Khemmis". On the front of the statue is a version of the traditional "appeal to passers-by".
