A small standing mummiform shabti (answerer) figure modeled in greenish faience, shown with a wig and a long kilt inscribed with vertical lines of hieroglyphs.
The image shows a single small shabti figurine standing upright against a plain background. The figure has a human face, a broad wig/headcloth, and a striated collar. The body is painted/formed in a green glazed surface and wears a long, vertically segmented kilt. Two hands are held across the front in a holding position (objects/tools are not clearly identifiable at this resolution). The front of the figure is covered with incised/painted hieroglyphic lines, including rows of stylized signs near the torso and kilt area; however, individual signs are not legible enough to transcribe confidently. No cartouche is clearly readable, and no royal name can be confirmed from the image.
