With these pieces the rendering of the short pleated skirt is unusual: while this type of skirt is normally represented with the left end overlapping and showing above top, in the case of the Abvdene statuettes the two ends do not overlap, bor a similar type of rendering of the short pleated skirt see Walters Art Gallery 22.3: Steindorff 194, 8, no. 38. See for example Kayser 1973, 55 (V. 4); R. Krauspe, Fährer durch die Ausstellung. Ägyptisches Museum der Karl-Marx-Universität Leipzig, 1983, 34 (49/16); and R. E. Freed in Lacovara and Teasley Trope 2001, 9, who, beside priests, also associates baldness with high government officials. Nagy 1999, 31, believes that the owner of the Budapest statuette was a priest. Needier 1981, 132. Bourriau 1988, 53-54. Vandier 1958, 271-72; Björkman 1971, 24. n. 1. For some notable examples see Walters Art Gallery 22.340: Steindorff 1946, pl. IX, no. 36; CG 466 and 483: Borchardt 1925, pis. 78 and 80; Louvre E 3932 and E 20185: Delange 1985, 118—19 and 187. For the social context of changes in art during the late Middle Kingdom see Bourriau 1988, 40-41, and 53-54.
