A standing, mummiform shabti figurine with a carved face and long wig, wearing a decorated garment and holding crossed implement/arms at the chest. The lower body is covered with an incised inscription in vertical registers.

The image shows a complete shabti/ushabti-style figure carved in a dark stone with lighter surface wear. The head has a stylized wig with a tripartite/rolled arrangement at the forehead and a defined face. The figure’s body is mummiform, with a broad chest and a stylized collar. Arms appear gathered/held close at the front, with faintly indicated hands and crossed/stacked attributes at the chest. The torso and lower body have dense incised decoration and an inscription composed of hieroglyphs arranged in rows/columns beneath the garment panel. The hieroglyphic text is clearly present on the front of the legs/torso region, though individual signs are not reliably readable at this resolution. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No clearly legible royal cartouche is distinguishable from the inscription in the provided image.
