The figure of Ipy's little daughter is outlined against her mother's long white gown. She is clad in festal attire, with a fillet of petals and the cone of unguent upon her head. A collar of petals encircles her neck. The head is partly shaven, but long tresses hang down over either shoulder. The little bead bangles are drawn in more natural positions than is usual. In one hand she holds a duck in the manner customary throughout the Orient, and in tl1e other a single stem of papyrus around which are entwined the leaves of some other plant. Some awkwardness is occasioned by the lower line of her dress coinciding with that of her mother, and by the feet being on the same level. The hieroglyphs describe her as 'His daughter Imembab, justified'. The epithet 'justified' usually signified that a person was dead, but seems sometimes to have been used carelessly without any such intention.
