Three wooden shabti figures with noticeable wear.
The image depicts three shabti figures from ancient Egypt, characterized by their traditional mummiform appearance. The central figure displays hieroglyphic inscriptions along the body, which is typical of shabti intended to serve as workers for the deceased in the afterlife. The left and right figures show significant wear, particularly on the surfaces of their bodies and heads, and are less detailed. There's an emphasis on the painted and carved details, although much has been degraded over time.
