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 turquoise-blue glazed faience shabti figure shown standing front-facing with arms crossed over the chest and wearing a tripartite wig or headdress.
The object appears as a small standing funerary figurine (shabti/ushabti type) in a dark teal to turquoise blue glaze. The figure is rendered as a human form with a prominent tripartite wig/headdress covering the head, a simplified face with no clearly legible facial details, and both arms held close to the torso with hands positioned near the chest. The torso and legs are fully modeled in one continuous form, with the arms and body forming a compact silhouette. The base is flat and the figure stands on it; no plinth inscriptions or base text are visible in this view. The glaze shows mottling and wear consistent with age, with brighter highlights on the head and upper body and darker pooling in recesses. No clearly readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text are visible in the provided image.
