A small, upright Egyptian shabti (mummiform figure) in turquoise-green faience with a stylized human face and extensive painted/raised inscription across the body.
The object is a mummiform shabti figure standing on a rectangular base. The head has a broad, stylized face with a headdress/striped wig and a visible central tripartite-looking arrangement. The upper body shows a collar and a crossed/corded representation on the chest. The arms appear held at or near the sides, and the legs are tightly held together in the typical shabti pose. The body is covered with incised or relief hieroglyphs in horizontal registers, suggesting an offering/spell text or the owner’s name/title. The back of the figure is not visible in this view. The surface is worn, with green turquoise glaze over darker core; abrasion and flaking are visible. No clear Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. No royal cartouche is confidently readable from this single image; the catalogue-identified person’s name cannot be confirmed visually at this resolution. No clear deity iconography (beyond generic shabti convention) is distinct enough to name.
