A small turquoise-blue faience ushabti (shabti) figure shown standing upright with a mummiform/Osirian-style head and arms.
The image shows a single upright shabti/ushabti figure in a turquoise-blue glazed material. The head is shaped like a mummiform/Osirian head with a stylized face and straight, dark incised facial features. Both arms are bent and held close to the torso, with hands resting on the chest area. No clear emblems, tools, or leg inscriptions are clearly legible in the provided view. The overall surface appears glossy with mottled wear and highlights from the glaze; edges and lower details are somewhat worn but the figure silhouette is intact. The background is plain and no additional inscriptions are clearly visible in this image.
