From the Museo Egizio record
The man wears the so-called “double-wig” and a long, wide-sleeved dress with an apron. The woman wears a tripartite wig and a long dress. On either side of the seat are pictured funerary offerings. The inscriptions contain offering formulas for the couple. The sculpture is quite roughly carved, in spite of the fact that Amonemheb held a relatively high-ranking office. Dimensions: 37 cm x 50 cm x 31 cm. Museum location: Not on display. Image views available: 5.
