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.
Glazed faience ushabti figurine painted/engraved in dark blue with traces of gilded or lighter details, shown standing frontally with arms crossed over the chest.
The image shows a small standing shabti/ushabti figure with a rounded, mummiform head and a simplified body. The figure is predominantly blue with mottled surface wear and scattered light-toned specks that likely reflect remaining pigment/glaze or gilded detailing. The arms appear crossed across the chest; a belt or wrap is suggested around the midsection, and the legs are separated with minimal modeling. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible in the provided view (the face and torso have no readable text). No weapons or tools are clearly discernible due to the limited resolution and erosion. The background is plain and the object is photographed against a light surface; no additional inscriptions, base, or plinth are shown.
