A small ancient Egyptian statuette with partially visible inscriptions.

The artifact is a small, mummiform statuette, likely made of limestone or a similar durable material. The style appears simplistic, possibly reflecting a burial or funerary context. Some parts of the surface exhibit wear, and there are hieroglyphic inscriptions at the base. The overall appearance suggests it may have been part of a burial assemblage, possibly a shabti or a servant figure intended for the afterlife.
