Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
Blue glazed faience shabti (ushabti) figure shown standing frontally, with a human head and a long garment decorated with incised/painted hieroglyphic-like lines.
The artifact is a small, front-facing mummiform shabti/ushabti figure with a blue faience glaze. The head and face are modeled in the round, with stylized features and a headdress/wig that falls over the sides. The figure’s arms are held across the chest, and the body is divided by layered garment lines. The front of the body includes dense incised/painted marks that appear hieroglyphic or pseudo-hieroglyphic but are not fully legible in the provided image. No clear cartouche(s), king’s names, or specific deity iconography are readable. The object stands on a small base support; lighting and glaze blur the finer details of the inscription.
