An ancient Egyptian shabti figure crafted in a mummiform shape.
The artifact is a small shabti figure depicted in mummiform, typical of funerary objects in ancient Egypt. It has a glossy surface and appears to be made from faience. The figure's arms are crossed over the chest, a common position for shabtis, which were often placed in tombs to serve as servants in the afterlife. Despite its age, the piece remains largely intact, showing only minor surface wear and some cracks.
