He is represented here as a king with all signs of royalty as the nms headdress, the sndyt kilt, the ureaus attached to the forehead and the false royal beard, and also this time he is represented with his delicate features. Under his legs e can see the representation of the nine bows symbolizing the enemies of Egypt. Also we can hieroglyphic inscription at the back of the statue as well as the base and the belt.
