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 full-length painted wooden/black-stone shabti figure of a standing, mummiform person holding a tool, with extensive incised hieroglyphic text on the torso and legs.

The artifact shows a standing shabti-like figure with a mummiform upper body, a stylized face and headdress, and arms positioned across the chest holding a long staff/tool. The body is covered with dense, incised hieroglyphs filled with dark pigment; additional pigment highlights the layout of signs and borders. The eyes appear inlaid or picked out with a light blue/teal tint. The garment/wrappings and the legs are outlined by painted lines, and the text continues down the figure. No clearly legible individual royal cartouches are visible at this resolution, though the presence of a long inscription strongly suggests identification text. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic is visible. The exact material (e.g., ebony vs. other dark wood/stone) cannot be confirmed from the image alone, but the surface color is very dark with pigment-filled inscriptions.
