There are many representations which show him either standing or kneeling with offerings in his hands, or in a gesture of adoration.

The figure has lost the inserted cobra serpent above the forehead, the arms, and the offerings in his hands.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/54.2093' rel='external'>Kneeling King</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
