Shabti

1993.149.jpg

A finely carved wooden shabti figure, the wig is detailed with a fine zig-zag pattern and layered lappets. The eyes and brows are recessed for inlay and some of this gold survives in the right eye. The ear-lobes are pierced and the hands are laid across the chest. Traces of text can be seen on the lower part of the body.
