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.
Blue-green faience shabti figurine shown standing upright with arms crossed over the chest and a rounded head with a damaged/indistinct head covering.
The object is a small, solid figurine in a turquoise-blue faience body. It depicts a human-like figure standing on a flat base, with arms positioned across the torso (hands held toward the chest) and a slender lower body. The head is rounded, with a suggestion of a headdress or headcloth, but fine details are obscured by surface loss and pitting. The front surface contains scattered traces of gold-brown pigment or remaining inlaid/painted decoration, arranged in irregular areas (not clearly readable as a specific spell or figure). No clearly legible hieroglyphic lines are visible in the provided image at this resolution, and no cartouche or royal name can be confirmed. The overall surface is worn with chips and uneven edges, especially along the lower extremity and around the shoulders/arms. No modern labels or non-Egyptian scripts are visible.
