Statue depicting the ka of Tutankhamun. It was found in the antechamber of the tomb and near the entrance to the burial chamber, facing his companion. At the time of the discovery girlande of olive and persea leaves were found nearby as offerings. Both statues have black skin to symbolise, as ka of the ruler, the rebirth and ressurection of Osiris, whose skin was believed to be black to recall the colour of the silt of the Nile. The difference between the two statues is minimal and lies in the headdresses (a nemes and a khat) and the inscriptions on the skirts. Both have a mace in their right hand and a papyrus-stemmed staff in the other. Around their necks are a gold necklace and breastplate and they also wear bracelets and anklets of gilded bronze. Amarnian influence can be seen in their prominent bellies, slender legs and pierced ears.

Detail. Tutankhamun embraces the god Osiris who welcomes him into the afterlife. The king is followed by his ka, who on his head, above his long tripartite wig, bears the hieroglyphic sign 'ka', consisting of two raised arms. The king wears a short skirt and the Nemes, an exclusively royal headdress, made of a rectangular cloth that was placed on the sovereign's head and passed behind the ears, creating two bands at the sides of the neck that fell on the chest (elements that are often compared to the wings of a falcon in texts), while the back was knotted into a braid that fell on the back. From the wall paintings of royal tombs we know that the hairstyle was in horizontal blue and gold stripes.
