Painted pottery shabti figure shown standing upright with a bearded, wig-like head and arms held forward holding small tools or ritual implements.

The image depicts a small, hand-modeled Egyptian funerary figurine (shabti) on a base. The head is covered with a dark-painted wig cap; the face has a red/brown skin tone with painted white and red accents. A stylized broad collar or necklace surrounds the neck. The figure’s arms are bent forward at chest level, with both hands holding small, rounded objects or tools. The torso and legs are covered in red paint with vertical bands and a central column-like motif, consistent with incised/painted garment or symbolic decoration. No clearly readable cartouche or full hieroglyphic inscription is visible at this resolution; a small central painted element includes several dark marks, but they cannot be confidently transcribed. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. Deir el-Medina shabti iconography is generally consistent with the catalogue attribution, but the specific name “Khonsu” cannot be confirmed from the image provided.
