Description

Blue-green faience shabti without inscription. Shabti wears a tripartite wig, with no indication of modeled ears. Hands are modeled, but no traces of painted adzes remain. No indication of painted basket on the shabti's back, though some paint still adheres to the wig. There is a painted dot on the base of the shabti's feet, probably representing a maker's mark.
