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 blue faience shabti figure shown front-facing with crossed arms and a tripartite wig/cap, with black-painted marks and a column of inscriptions on the torso.

The image depicts a single funerary figurine (shabti) rendered in bright blue faience. The figure stands upright, with a stylized human face and a tripartite wig or cap; the arms appear crossed over the chest, and a belt/garment line is suggested across the midsection. Black painted signs decorate the body: large facial/feature marks, a horizontal element over the crossed arms, and a vertical column of hieroglyph-like signs running down the torso. The base is worn/unfinished, and the surface shows chips and abrasions consistent with age or excavation handling. No cartouche or clearly legible royal titulary is visible, and the black signs are not sufficiently clear to securely transcribe beyond noting a vertical inscription column.

funerary unclear (likely Late Period to Ptolemaic based on shabti format, but not certain from the image) fragmentary
Materials faience (blue glaze)pigment/paint (black)
Signs unknown hieroglyphic signs (vertical inscription column) ×6
Visible text "Vertical column of black-painted hieroglyph-like signs on the torso; exact reading unclear."
