A painted wooden shabti figure standing upright, with a human face, braided nemes-like headcloth, and a beaded broad collar over a striped garment.

The object is a small, mummy-like standing figurine shown front-on against a plain background. It has a painted human face with simplified features (black eyebrows and eyes, and a light skin tone), and a blue-green head covering around the head and ears. The figure wears a broad collar made of repeated bead motifs in dark lines on a light field, and a striped garment visible on the upper torso. The arms are held close to the sides of the body; the right arm area appears slightly raised/covered by paint. The body is predominantly off-white with visible wear and losses exposing the underlying surface. The lower section stands on a reddish block base that looks like a separate element or heavily repainted base. No readable hieroglyphic inscriptions, cartouches, or other text are visible in this image; only decorative painting elements are present (collar beads, garment stripes, and headcloth coloring).
