Blue glazed faience shabti figure standing upright with arms crossed over the chest and a wig-like headdress, shown in three-quarter view against a neutral background.
The object appears to be a small upright shabti (mummiform/standing) figure rendered in blue faience glaze. The figure has a dark, wig/headdress-like element on the head and a face with simplified incised features. Both arms are held close to the body with hands crossed over the chest. The front of the torso and the lower body include incised decorative lines and schematic garments/straps; a broad horizontal banding and rectangular/striped motifs are visible on the abdomen and legs. The lower end tapers slightly and has a flat base. No legible hieroglyphic text or cartouches are clearly readable at this resolution; there are incised signs or bands on the front, but they cannot be confidently identified as specific names. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
