A painted limestone shabti (mummiform figure) standing with arms crossed, shown from head to feet on a small base.
The artifact depicts a mummiform/Osiriform figure with a wig or head covering, a painted human face, and prominent crossed arms holding a seed/implement-like object. The body is painted white/cream with red and black detailing; the feet and legs are separated and painted with simple colored bands. A vertical column of black-painted hieroglyphs runs along the figure’s torso/side, though the exact characters are not fully legible at this resolution. No clear royal cartouche or name is readable. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The overall style and iconography are consistent with a New Kingdom shabti figure, with painted details on limestone. The catalogue title specifies “Shabti of Khabekhnet and Iineferty”; however, the exact personal names are not clearly legible in the provided image, so they cannot be confirmed from the visible inscription.
