A small, ancient Egyptian shabti figure with a mummiform shape.
The artifact is a shabti figure, typically used in ancient Egyptian burial practices. It is mummiform in appearance, with a visible headdress and stylized facial features. The figure is made from faience, evidenced by its glazed, turquoise-green hue, although much of the surface is worn or eroded exposing a brownish underlayer. The craftsmanship suggests it was intended for inclusion in a burial assemblage, possibly to serve the deceased in the afterlife.
