Black-and-white photo of three views of a painted wooden Egyptian shabty figure (mummiform), shown front and side profiles.
The image shows three photographs of the same small, mummiform sculpture: left side profile, front view, and right side profile. The figure is standing upright with a rounded head and wig/headdress; arms are held in front of the torso with hands visible in the front view. The front body is decorated with incised/painted hieroglyphic text columns and symbolic bands; the legs are separated and painted in dark and light zones. In the front view, the torso includes multiple vertical lines of hieroglyphs between and above pictorial elements, suggesting an inscription on a shabty. The right side profile shows the back/side of the figure with more of the incised painted pattern, including a rectangular grid-like panel on the forearm/hand area. No clear royal cartouches are legible at this resolution. No modern Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. Visible surface coatings indicate pigment paint over a pale base.
