AI image analysis GPT-5.4-nano

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 tall, dark, mummy-shaped shabti/ushabti figure densely inscribed on all sides with vertical columns of hieroglyphs painted in light color.

The object is shown upright on a black display base. It appears as a dark rectangular-to-figural body with a raised, conventionally shaped wig/headdress at the top and a stylized body face area; arms and legs are indicated by relief/painted outlines. The surface is covered with closely packed vertical lines of hieroglyphs in multiple registers, filling both the front and side faces. The hieroglyphic signs are rendered in a contrasting lighter paint, and some portions near the lower body show damage or wear that interrupts the inscription. No clear Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. A likely painted coating (catalogued as yellow paste) contrasts with the darker core (catalogued as ebony). The image resolution does not allow reliable reading of a specific royal cartouche or full inscription excerpt.
