The sovereign is depicted seated on a high-backed throne, wearing the Jubilee mantle, and has a thick tripartite black wig over which is an archaic version of nemes, the customary royal headdress, which appears here as a simple drape on the head fixed to the forehead. The front of the base is engraved in baro-relief with the titles and name of the ruler, which is Netjerkhet. The name Djoser, by which the monarch is known, is instead found in later documents. It is the earliest example of life-size statuary in ancient Egypt and was found in the serdab of the Djose funerary complex in Saqqara from where the statue, through holes in the wall, could look outwards and participate in the celebrations.

A decorative panel that adorned the underground flats (also called 'blue chambers') of the Djose Step Pyramid at Saqqara. Consisting of blue faience tiles interlocked on the limestone wall, it represents a mat of woven and painted reeds with a series of twelve 'djed' pillars of decreasing size from the centre towards the ends. The purpose of this type of decoration was to ensure greater durability for otherwise extremely perishable elements.
