A small blue-green faience funerary figurine (shabti) shown frontally with a rounded wig/hood and crossed arms holding implements.
The object is a compact, human-shaped shabti figurine with a rounded, hood-like head covering/wig and a simplified face. The arms are crossed over the chest, and a pair of small, indistinct shapes at the hands may indicate bound or held tools associated with shabtis, though details are worn/blurred. The body is molded with a narrow torso and stylized legs; the surface is uniformly covered in a turquoise-blue glaze with visible wear, chips, and areas where the color has dulled. No clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are readable on the visible surfaces in this photograph. The background is plain, and no additional labels or text are visible.
