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, turquoise-blue glazed faience shabti/ushabti-style figure shown frontally with arms crossed at the chest and a rounded head covered by a hood or headdress.

The object is a standing figurine with a rounded head and a hood-like covering. The arms are folded across the chest, with the hands positioned near the upper torso. The body is covered in a turquoise-blue glaze with mottled greenish and yellowish areas where the surface has worn or flaked. The legs are separated below the waist, and the feet end in a simple tapering form. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or text are visible in this image. No explicit tools or implements (e.g., hoe) can be confirmed from the provided view. The overall form and material appearance are consistent with a shabti figure.
