A small turquoise-blue faience ushabti (shabti) figure shown standing with arms crossed over the chest, head wearing a tripartite-style wig, and a painted/relief face and body details.
The image shows a single standing, human-form ushabti/shabti figure in turquoise-blue material with a glossy surface, photographed against a plain gray background. The figure’s head has a rounded tripartite wig arrangement and a stylized face (eyes, nose, and mouth rendered in raised or incised detail). Both arms are crossed on the chest, with hands resting near the torso. The lower body tapers slightly toward the feet; the feet are separated and rest on a flat base. Faint, worn incised details or surface ornamentation are visible along the body, but no clear, complete hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or legible inscriptions are visible in this image at the resolution provided. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
