This is a sculpture that was placed in the tomb of Kai. This is not an idealized sculpture, due to the not so favorable physique. So this is what Kai’s scribe most probably looked like in real life. Many pharohs had their servants with them (whether respresentations or the actual servants themselves) to have them continue to be their servants in the afterlife.

The Asmar statues were modeled from processed gypsum (calcium sulphate). The ancient technique involves firing gypsum at about 300 degrees Fahrenheit until it becomes a fine white powder (called plaster of Paris). The powder is then mixed with water and then modeled and/or sculpted.
