A blue-green ushabti figure depicted standing with arms crossed.

The artifact is an ushabti figure, a funerary statuette, likely made from faience based on its blue-green hue. The figure is shown standing with arms crossed over the chest, holding implements. The surface appears to have some wear but retains good detail, including headgear and facial features, typical of burial accompaniments from Ancient Egypt. The background suggests a museum setting.
