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 glazed faience ushabti (mummiform figurine) shown front-facing against a plain background.
The object is a mummiform shabti/ushabti with a rounded head and a simple wig-like headdress indicated by shallow modeling. The face is worn, with minimal incised features; a horizontal band across the chest suggests a garment/inscription band. The arms appear crossed over the torso, and the figure tapers toward a small, flat base. No clearly legible hieroglyphs or cartouches are visible in the provided image; the surface appears mottled/abraded, obscuring potential text. The overall color and sheen are consistent with a blue-green glazed faience surface.
