A dark brown wax sculpture depicts the Son of Horus, Imsety, as a vertical, human-shaped figure with a glossy amber finish. The head features prominent ears and a wig draping in two sections over the shoulders. Arms cross the chest, while the body tapers toward small feet. A network of fine, light-colored cracks webs across the entire dark surface, resembling a delicate net.
