Inscription thoroughly removed;
according to Dorman, 1988, the statue had been restored - probably in Ramessid times due Atonist attacks. During this restoration the small head above the surveyor's roll had been modulated, probably a ram-head [as symbol of Amun] which was smashed by Atonists had been represented there. However, traces of the names of Amun and Senenmut were still intact on the top of the base when the inscriptions were rubbed off.
