A small turquoise-blue faience shabti figure (mummiform/standing with arms crossed over the chest) photographed against a plain background.
The artifact shows a compact, cylindrical-to-rectilinear shabti form with a human head and a bald/closely shaven hairstyle. The figure’s hands are positioned crossed over the upper chest, and the body has molded/painted surface decoration lines suggesting clothing or wrapping. The surface is predominantly turquoise with darker streaks and wear, consistent with an aged glazed faience. No clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are legible in this image, and no royal name text can be confirmed. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The identification as a specific individual (Henettawy, daughter of Isetemkheb) cannot be verified from the visible inscription in this photograph.
