Blue turquoise-colored small Egyptian shabti-style figurine shown standing frontally with a mummiform/Osirian-inspired head covering and incised facial features.

The image shows a small, slender, standing figurine in a vivid blue (turquoise) color, likely faience. The figure has a smooth, rounded head with a head covering, a simplified face with incised eyes and mouth, and a long, straight body shaped as a mummy/wrapped form. The arms are held close to the torso, with the left hand/arm raised slightly. On the torso there is a vertical register of incised line(s) resembling hieroglyphic/inscription marks (exact signs are unclear). The lower legs end in a rounded base. Condition appears worn with chipped/abraded areas, especially on the lower section, and small dark accretions/spotting along the surface. No cartouche or royal names are clearly legible, and no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.

funerary unknown fragmentary
Materials faience (turquoise-blue glaze)
