Small green faience ushabti figure shown in a standing, mummy-like pose with arms crossed over the chest and incised hieroglyphic text on the body and base.

The image shows a single anthropoid ushabti (shabti) figure standing upright against a plain grey background. The figure has a stylized male face with a dark facial inlay implied by darker lines/marks, wearing a striped nemes-style headdress or headcloth. The body is shown in profile/three-quarter view with both arms held across the chest. On the torso and front of the legs there are multiple rows of incised hieroglyphs filling the central panel(s); the top and lower registers are bordered/segmented by lines. The lower portion tapers toward the feet, which terminate above a flat rectangular ground. A small museum inventory label is visible beneath the object, but it is not clearly legible beyond partial digits/characters. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic script is visible. No clearly identifiable royal cartouche is legible in this image; the text appears to be ushabti/workers inscriptions rather than a full cartouche form.
