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 turquoise-blue faience shabti figurine shown from the front, with a rounded head and arms crossed over the chest, standing upright against a plain background.

The object is a small, solid figurine with a stylized human form: a rounded head with no clearly visible crown detail, a face with shallow incised features, and arms drawn across the chest. The body tapers slightly downward and ends in a rounded base. The surface is painted/covered in a bright turquoise-blue glaze with darker mottling and wear. The lower torso shows faint incised lines and possible remnants of text or decoration, but no legible hieroglyphs or cartouches are clearly readable at this resolution. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic script is visible.
