A small standing Egyptian shabti (mummiform/standing figure) with a wig and broad collar, shown grasping implements across the chest. The body is covered with incised painted/relief hieroglyphic text bands.

The image shows a single, light-colored shabti figure standing upright against a dark background. The figure has a shaved/rounded face with painted features and a long wig descending over the sides of the head, ending near the shoulders. A broad collar and simple garment lines are visible at the neck and upper torso. Both hands are held forward across the chest, with an implement-like object in each hand (appearing like small hoes or tools) held in an X-like arrangement. The lower body is decorated with multiple registers of incised hieroglyphs, filling the legs and extending over a belt-like area. The hieroglyphs are clearly present and occupy a substantial portion of the figure, but the image resolution does not allow confident reading of specific names or phrases. No cartouche with a royal name is clearly legible. No non-hieroglyphic scripts (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) are visible. The surface appears glossy and ceramic-like, consistent with an Egyptian faience object; however, exact color/paint details are not reliable beyond the cataloged material.
