A painted wooden shabti/ushabti figure of a standing male with a striped nemes-like wig and holding a tool, set before an inscribed band on the body.

The image shows a full-length, standing male shabti figure on a modern stepped base. The figure has a stylized wig/covering rendered as horizontal blue-and-white stripes over the head. The face is painted with black eyebrows and eyeliner; the hands are brought together holding a bound bundle or tool (possibly a hoe or seed/agricultural implement), with the arms and hands painted orange-brown. The torso and legs are covered with rectangular registers of hieroglyphic text painted in dark lines on a lighter background, suggesting an inscription typical of shabti figures. The painted surfaces include blue (notably in the head stripes and some body decoration) and red/orange-brown skin/clothing tones. No clearly legible hieroglyphic names are readable at this image resolution, but the presence of inscribed text bands is evident. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No cartouches are clearly discernible. The material appears to be wood with painted decoration; Egyptian-blue pigment is visible on the head and possibly in the painted banding.
