AI image analysis GPT-5.4-nano
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 ushabti (mummiform figure) with a raised head and hands crossed on the chest, shown against a plain background.
The object is a mummiform shabti/ushabti figure with a rounded head, simplified facial features, and a broad, flat arrangement of arms folded across the torso. The figure’s body is tapered downward, with the feet integrated into the base. Dark incised decoration and/or painted lines are visible on the torso and over the crossed arms. On the lower body there are additional dark marks forming short horizontal and vertical strokes that may be part of an inscription, but the individual hieroglyphs are not clear enough to read reliably from this image. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The overall turquoise-blue coloration is consistent with a glazed faience surface; some dark speckling and minor surface wear are visible.
