It should be noted that this statue is broken and consists of a large piece and three small pieces, and it is made of black basalt stone. The statue also has the form of an unknown animal, and the names of King Khufu are written on both sides of the statue. The research paper seeks to study the written forms, as well as to compare these recorded names with some other inscriptions associated with the name of King Khufu, the owner of the greatest Egyptian pyramids during the Fourth Dynasty. It is known that King Khufu has a single small ivory statuette that was found during Petrie excavations in the Abydos area, and it is currently preserved in the Egyptian Museum at Tahrir Square, Cairo. The study also seeks to investigate the animal form of this statue preserved in El-Ashmunien, which is considered one of the most important centers of worship of the deity Djehuti in ancient Egypt. The study will also attempt to uncover the extent of this animal form's connection to the statue of King Khufu - the subject of the study - and then highlight the nature and extent of the connection to the King Khufu.
