Painted wooden shabti box with molded/painted decoration showing two standing figures in ancient Egyptian costume and columns of hieroglyphs on the sides; a painted doorway motif appears on one face.

The image shows a small rectangular box placed on a red-brown base. Two adjacent side panels are decorated: on one face, two stylized male figures stand side by side wearing tall blue-and-yellow headdresses and long garments. Their bodies and garments are outlined in black with red, blue, and yellow fills; small staff/rod-like elements are visible near their hands/arms. Vertical columns and scattered signs resembling hieroglyphs fill the background between/around the figures, with additional small marks beneath. On the other face, the decoration includes a semicircular arch/rosette-like element at the top and a framed doorway motif with green-blue inner stripes and a dark outline; the panel is painted in warm yellow and red-brown bands. The top edge has three small peg-like protrusions. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The cataloged materials and New Kingdom/Ramesside shabti-box type are consistent with the painted wooden gesso look, though the specific name “Paramnekhu” is not clearly legible in the provided image.
