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/standing figure) posed with hands crossed over the chest, shown front-on against a plain background.
The artifact is a standing, mummiform shabti figure with a rounded head and a striated/outlined facial area. The body appears coated in a turquoise-blue glaze with darker corroded/abraded patches. The arms are positioned forward with the hands crossed over the chest, and the lower body includes a tapering/waisted profile typical of shabti forms. Incised or impressed decoration and possible hieroglyphic signs are visible on the front and/or chest area, but the characters are not clear enough in this image to reliably identify specific names or formulae. No clear cartouche or royal titulary is legible. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The figure’s surface wear and missing details prevent secure identification of the catalogued name elements (Henettawy/Isetemkheb) from the image alone.
