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 faience shabti (mummiform figure) shown frontally with a simplified face and raised arms.

The image depicts a compact, mummiform shabti figure standing on a rounded base. The head and torso are shown in a stylized way: the face is worn but suggests a broad, simplified facial treatment with darkened features. The arms appear held across the chest/upper torso area. The overall surface is coated in a turquoise glaze consistent with faience; there are areas of abrasion and loss exposing darker patches. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible on the photographed surfaces, and no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is present. No specific divine iconography is distinguishable from this angle and resolution.
