A painted Egyptian funerary ushabti/shabti figure showing a seated or kneeling human form with a prominent wig and incised hieroglyphic register on the torso area.

The object is a small, vertically oriented, light-colored stone ushabti figure. The head has a stylized wig with a central ridge and the facial features are worn but indicate a human face. The arms are drawn across the front of the torso in a crossed/held position. The lower body is largely cylindrical with the legs implied by molding lines at the sides. Across the mid-to-lower portion of the figure there is a band (or stacked fields) of incised and partially painted hieroglyphs, consistent with formula text on ushabti. Traces of pigment are visible on and around the incised signs. No clear Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No explicit deity iconography is visible beyond the general ushabti format.
