Funerary Statuette naming Teshnefer

Funerary Statuette naming Teshnefer. Dimensions: statuette: H. 29.5 × W. 7.2 × D. 6.5 cm (11 5/8 × 2 13/16 × 2 9/16 in.). Date: 332-30 BC.
This mummiform figure resembles representations of the human-headed Imsety, one of the four sons of Horus. The manner of decoration, with gilded face, red shroud, and extravagant floral collar, is found on some Ptolemaic examples of the funerary god such as 12.182.37b, as well as on much larger Ptah-Sokar-Osiris figures like 21.9.1.
The name of the god here, however, is given as Hekes, who is unknown, possibly garbled. But the owner's name and filiation are clear: Teshnefer, son of Pmerweret, born of Theset.
