Painted wooden ushabti (mummiform figure) shown standing, with a human face and incised/painted column of hieroglyphs on the torso.
The object is a small, mummiform shabti/ushabti figure with a dark-painted wig and a blue/black headdress or head covering. The face has arched eyebrows, inlaid/painted eyes, and a neutral mouth. The body is cylindrical to rectangular in shape and painted with sparse traces of blue-green and red-brown pigment. A vertical text register with colored hieroglyph-like signs appears on the front of the figure, running from the mid-torso downward. There is no clearly legible cartouche visible at this resolution; individual signs cannot be confidently read. The feet are rounded and the top of the figure is clearly enclosed by a painted head section. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The likely Middle Kingdom ushabti format fits the catalogue’s identification, but the personal name 'Senebimi' is not fully legible in the image provided.
