Ushabti, Mummy-shaped figurine made as grave goods, standing on a base with the back supported by a pillar/pilaster. Arms crossed on the chest, right folded over the left, holding carved hoes in both hands. A bag is on the back, slung over the left shoulder on a single string. Wears a three-part smooth wig merging into the pilaster at the back, and a long straight tapering beard. Carelessly crafted facial features with bulging eyes and a slight smile. Dated 332–30 BC, Late Period–Ptolemaic period 27th–30th Dynasty, Egypt. Shabti, height 9.5 cm., A slender vertical figurine in bright turquoise-blue with areas of lighter and darker blue and some small pale worn spots, shown in profile against a plain gray background; the figure has a rounded head and a suggestion of facial features, a long robe-like body with a few rough pitted areas and surface irregularities, and a flat rectangular base in the same blue tones.
