AI image analysis GPT-5.4-nano

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.

Glazed faience shabti figure posed in a mummiform style with arms crossed over the chest, shown against a plain background.

The object is a small, upright, mummiform funerary figure (shabti/ushabti) with a rounded head and a faintly indicated face. The arms appear folded across the chest, with the hands resting on the upper body. The lower body is block-like with minimal surface detail. The surface is heavily worn, with areas of green-blue glaze and scattered lighter/brownish areas where the coating is missing; fine, crisp details of any incised features or clothing are not clearly legible. No clearly readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text are visible in the provided image. No identifiable deities or royal names can be confirmed from the image due to the lack of legible inscriptions and low detail.
