A standing Egyptian shabti figure shown front-facing, with a mummiform/Osiride-style face and a long vertical inscription running down the torso.
The artifact depicts a small human figure standing with arms positioned forward and hands holding or resting over an attribute. The head is modeled with a wig or headcloth and a straight, symmetrical face. A column of hieroglyphs is visible on the lower torso/legs, running vertically, with several lines of dark-painted or incised symbols. No clearly legible cartouche or royal titulary is visible at this resolution. The surface appears light-colored with darker markings that read as inked/etched hieroglyphic text. The object is photographed against a dark background and rests on a small base; no other inscriptions (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) are visible.
