AI image analysis GPT-5.4-nano

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 small, mummiform shabti-like figure with a rounded head and painted details, photographed against a light background with a scale for size.

The image shows a single upright, human-shaped, mummiform figurine consistent in overall silhouette with an Egyptian shabti: a rounded skull and stylized facial features at the top, a narrower torso, and a constricted lower body ending in a rounded base. Faint remnants of surface color/paint are visible on the head and torso, but much of the decoration appears worn or rubbed. No clearly legible hieroglyphs are visible in the provided view; any markings are too indistinct to read confidently. A ruler/scale with centimeter markings appears along the right side of the photograph, indicating the object’s size. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.

funerary New Kingdom to Third Intermediate Period (per catalogue; image itself does not allow finer dating) fragmentary
Materials Nile mud (implied by shabti form; surface appears matte/earthen)pigment (faint paint remnants visible)
