Arms crossed on the chest with hands visible from under the shroud; right hand slightly above the left.

Smooth three-part wig; triangular face with clearly marked large eyes, wide nose, mouth in a slight grimace. Not inscribed. Late Period, 664–332 BC, Egypt. Shabti; height 9.3 cm, width 2.5 cm., A vertical, elongated stone object with a rounded top and tapered lower section, shown against a plain gray background. The surface of the object is rough and weathered, displaying mostly beige and light tan tones with small patches of darker brown and faint greenish discoloration. The silhouette suggests a slightly wider midsection with subtle indentations along the sides and a flattened upper area. There are areas of reddish-brown staining on the lower portion and some small dark spots scattered across the surface. The object casts a soft, diffuse shadow beneath it on the background.
