Painted wooden Egyptian shabti figure standing frontally with arms crossed and a mummiform wig and face, set on a rectangular base.
The image shows a full-length, mummiform shabti/ushabti figure painted in polychrome. The figure has a dark-painted coiffed wig and a painted face with stylized features. Both hands are held forward at chest level, with crossed/held arms or wrists indicated by the painted detailing. The torso and legs are painted with alternating black, white, and colored bands and wear-like accents; the lower legs include decorative stripes and possible sandal/foot detailing. A column of hieroglyphic-style painted marks is visible on the lower body/around the legs and another area of painted inscriptions appears beneath/around the torso, though the exact characters are not clear enough to transcribe reliably from this image resolution. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. No royal cartouche is clearly legible. The object appears to be a small votive/servant figure with remaining paint and gesso-like preparation visible where flaking occurs.
