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.

A small limestone shabti figure shown standing upright with a mummiform hairstyle and hands crossed over the chest, wearing a wide collar and holding an object (partly worn) at the front.

The artifact is a vertically oriented, mummiform shabti/ushabti-style figure with a stylized face, arched eyebrows, and a tripartite wig/long headdress. A broad collar or garment band is visible around the neck and upper chest. The figure’s arms are crossed over the chest; the lower body is segmentally defined as if in a wrapped shroud. A front inscription panel is present on the torso; however, the carved signs are worn and only fragmentary lines and shapes are legible. Some dark remnants and a few localized areas of color appear on the surface, consistent with remaining paint or pigment. The object is mounted on a gold-colored base and held or supported by metal mounts/clamps at the midsection; these are likely modern display elements. No clear cartouche is readable. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The overall style and format are consistent with a New Kingdom Ramesside-period shabti from Deir el-Medina, though the name text is not clearly legible in this image.
