Blue faience shabti (mummiform figure) holding a tablet-like object with an inscribed panel on its front.

The image shows a single Egyptian shabti figure in bright blue faience. The figure is mummiform, with a stylized nemes-like headpiece and incised facial features. One arm is bent across the torso, and the other holds or supports a rectangular tablet/inscribed plank. The lower body tapers to the feet, with a molded base. On the front of the tablet/plank there is a black-painted or blackened hieroglyphic inscription panel with multiple grouped signs; the individual sign forms are present but too unclear at this resolution to transcribe reliably. No other scripts (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) are visible. No explicit royal cartouche is clearly readable; identification of the named overseer Isetemkheb from the catalogue is not directly confirmable from the visible inscription in this image.
