This piece is remarkable for the quality of the carving given the size and the gilding. Wearing the Blue Crown, or Khepresh, the young boy's face is particularly fine, with wide eyes, full lips, and a marked double chin. The pectorals are separated from the fleshy stomach by a narrow waist, a typical characteristic of the 3rd century B.C. according to Wiese.
