Small blue-green Egyptian shabti (mummiform figure) standing frontally with arms crossed over the chest and a rounded head.
The image shows a single small faience shabti figure painted/covered in a turquoise-blue glaze. The figure is mummiform with a rounded head, simplified facial features, and a bald or closely fitted head covering. Both arms are held across the body in a crossed position at chest level. The torso and limbs are rendered with minimal incised or molded detail; the lower legs end in feet that suggest standing on a flat base. No clear hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or inscriptions are legible on the visible surfaces, and no distinct tool/attribute (e.g., hoes or baskets) is clearly identifiable in this view. The object appears intact aside from minor surface wear and glaze loss consistent with age or handling. The background is plain and the artifact is centered, photographed straight-on.
