Shabti of light blue faience
The surface is damaged in some places. It is in the form of a mummy with flat back and rounded shoulders (X B), a round head with a long klaft. High brows and eyes are high lighted with black color, nose is shown in relief. Without beard. Stylized, hands crossed opposite, arms are indicated (H 29). On the left shoulder is a hoe, and on the right, as it seems, a pick or a second hoe (I 5?). At the back, on the left shoulder, is a bag. A text, also written in black, is on the front side, in one unframed column (Tp 7 b). It starts with the formula shđ Wsir, enlightened Osiris. Typologically it is of the pre-Saite to the Saite period.
