A limestone funerary shabti figure (mummiform), shown standing with hands crossed over the chest and wearing a wig and nemes-like headdress.
The image shows a single carved small-scale mummiform statue with a rounded head and a distinct wig. The figure’s arms are held forward with hands crossed at chest level. It wears a stylized head covering and has simplified facial features (eyes and smile). The torso is plain, with minimal surface relief, and the lower body forms the characteristic elongated legs. Metal supports/pins are visible at the level of the hands/forearms and at the base, indicating it is mounted for display. No clear hieroglyphic inscriptions, cartouches, or names are visible on the visible surfaces of the photographed object. No deities’ attributes beyond the generic shabti/mortuary iconography are clearly identifiable from this view.
