Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

A small blue faience shabti (mummiform ushabti/worker figure) shown front-facing, with a column of incised hieroglyphs on its torso and a wig/headshelf rendered in relief.

The artifact is a compact, standing, mummiform figure with a stylized wig covering the sides of the head and falling down over the back. The face is simplified with defined eyes and eyebrows; the lower body is mostly smooth, suggesting the shabti’s typical mummiform outline. On the front of the torso, there is a vertical column of tightly incised hieroglyphs contained within a bordered area; the signs are dark against the lighter blue surface. No clear cartouche or royal titulary is visible from this view. No separate sculpted implements (tools) are clearly discernible in the image, likely due to size/resolution and the figure’s worn surface. The overall surface appears glazed and blue, consistent with faience. There is no visible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text, and no additional inscriptions are clearly readable beyond the hieroglyphic column.
