Photograph of a small blue-green faience shabti (mummiform figure) with incised/painted hieroglyphic lines on the body.
The object is a mummiform statuette with a rounded head and a slightly indicated face. The figure wears a head covering and a broad collar-like element at the neck. The front and torso show densely incised hieroglyphic signs arranged in horizontal lines, with additional vertical sign groupings below, consistent with a shabti inscription. No clearly legible full name or cartouche is visible at this resolution. There is no visible modern text, and the inscription appears to be Egyptian-style hieroglyphs only. Color and surface suggest a glazed faience material (blue-green glaze). The shabti's overall condition is good; details are worn in places but the general form and sign layout remain visible.
