An upright, blue-green glazed faience shabti depicting a standing mummiform/Osirian figure with a broad wig and hands crossed over the chest.
The image shows a single small Egyptian funerary figurine photographed against a neutral gray background. The figure stands upright with a rounded, human-like face and a tripartite/wig-like headdress. The body is elongated and mummiform, with stylized shoulders and arms drawn in front. The hands appear held together at chest level. The figure is coated in a turquoise-blue glaze with darker and lighter mottling from firing and wear; the overall surface suggests glazed ceramic/faiance rather than carved stone. No readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are clearly visible on the photograph; any details around the arms or base are too indistinct to transcribe. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The condition appears generally good with minor losses/chips (a small white spot/chip is visible near the lower midsection).
