Statue of the Ka of Auibra Hor inside his shrine (detail)
The ka represented an individual's immaterial double and divine nature, and was housed in the cult statue. Moreover, it was the way in which the god manifested himself on earth; his hieroglyphic consists of two outstretched arms, here represented on the head of the figure. The ruler is incised on a parallelepiped base. The right arm is stretched across the body, the left arm forward. He wears a long tripartite wig, with thin parallel incisions, which leaves his ears uncovered and ends on his chest. The eyes are outlined with dark material, on the chin is a false beard. The neck was adorned with a usekh necklace covered with gold leaf. In his hand he held a sceptre and a staff.
