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 painted limestone shabti (mummiform figure) standing frontally, wearing a blue head covering and holding sculpted tools, with horizontal bands of painted hieroglyphs on the body.

The image shows a single mummiform shabti figure posed upright, with a stylized human face and a blue, partially worn head covering. The body is painted in pale/white with red and blue accents. Around the upper torso there are stacked collar-like bands (yellow/tan with red outlines). The arms appear folded across the chest, with hands placed near the abdomen; the abdomen area includes red-painted tool-like shapes (possibly a seed-bag or implements), though the exact items are not fully legible in the image. On the lower torso and legs is a dense field of painted black hieroglyphs arranged in horizontal registers; several signs are recognizable in general form (rectangular grid-like and animal/hand-like silhouettes), but the full readable text is not clear enough to transcribe reliably. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. A modern display base is visible at the bottom (gold-colored stand).
