[1][2] The statue – located in the Cairo Egyptian Museum, CG 34 – is 112 centimetres (3.67 ft) tall and carved from sycamore wood, and in six or more sections depicts the corpulent[3] Kaaper while walking with a staff.
The statue's round, peaceful face is almost lifelike thanks to the eyes, which were made using rock crystal and small copper plates;[2] it is often cited as an example of the remarkable level of craftmanship and realism achieved during the late 4th Dynasty.
