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 turquoise-blue faience shabti figure (mummiform/standing) holding tools against the chest, with incised hieroglyphic text across the lower torso.

The image shows a single small standing shabti figure rendered in a blue-green glaze consistent with faience. The figure’s head is human-like and stylized, with a straight headdress/short hair. One arm (left) is bent with the hand raised toward the chest area, while the other arm (right) is also lifted; between/around the forearms are the typical shabti implements, though individual tool details are not fully crisp in the photo. The body is covered with incised hieroglyphs: a band of text runs across the mid-to-lower front panel, with additional signs possibly continuing toward the base; most sign forms are too small to identify reliably. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No cartouche or royal titulary is clearly readable. The overall condition appears good with surface wear and small chips visible near edges (especially around the base and lower extremities).
