Pediese kneeling and pouring libation
The small statuette represents a person pouring libation on an offering table. On the back pillar, the inscription reads: Osiris Wennefer who causes Padiese, son of Paftjau (?) to live. His short-cropped hair (or a skull cap covering it) suggests he is a priest.
