Ushabti, mummy-shaped figurine impressed in a mold, carelessly made of faience. The back is flat and unfinished. Arms crossed on the chest, right hand folded over the left; arms are distinct. Tools almost invisible — faint outline on the right shoulder of a tool or string for hanging a basket. Smooth three-part wig with front strands reaching the breasts toward the center of the chest; back strand not cut from the back. Ears exposed, large, vaguely modeled. Facial details illegible; false beard barely visible. Front of the legs shows irregularities and lines suggesting an inscription, now completely illegible. Figurine is cracked at waist level and glued together; glaze surface heavily worn., if there was an inscription, c. 1069–c. 715 BC; Third Intermediate Period, Egypt. Shabti; height 5.6 cm, width 2 cm, depth 1.7 cm., A vertical blue object with a rounded top and a slightly flared base suspended against a plain gray background, showing a textured surface with areas of lighter and darker blue, some small white spots and a pale crack-like mark, and a weathered, uneven shape with subtle roughness and speckled variations in color.
