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 painted shabti/ushabti figure shown front-facing on a plain background, with a shrouded/headdressed head and a column of incised hieroglyphs along the body.
The artifact depicts a human-form figurine with a bald/covered head and a tripartite/curved headdress-like element. The figure is painted overall a pale/cream ground with dark and reddish-brown pigment accents on the face (eyes, eyebrows/liners) and additional remnants on the torso and behind the arms. A vertical band of incised hieroglyphs is visible on the front of the torso, though much of the characters are incomplete due to wear and paint loss. No clear cartouche is visible. The object appears to be a small ceramic figurine (catalogued as such) with surface abrasion and flaking paint; background is a uniform gray display mount.
