A painted, dark pottery shabti (mummiform figure) with a tripartite wig and incised hieroglyphic text on the front.
The image shows a full-length standing shabti figure rendered in dark material, likely ceramic with remaining paint. The figure has a rounded, mummiform body shape; a stylized tripartite wig with parallel incised lines down the sides; and a horizontally crossed collar/robe elements indicated by incised bands near the upper torso. Arms appear folded across the chest. A vertical column of incised hieroglyphic signs is visible on the front, though individual signs are not clearly legible at this resolution. The lower body includes a tripartite/strapped depiction and a dark surface with traces of lighter paint. The shabti has small light-colored protrusions near the upper sides (possibly breaks/pins or remnants), and the base is modern/added (support pedestal). No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
