Shabti box. Its double semicircular lid has been interpreted as a replica of the double shrine of Lower Egypt, whose vaults are flanked by high walls. Polychromatic false doors have been drawn on three of its four sides. On its front side there are two mummiform characters, with false beard, tripartite wig and perfume cone. They are wearing a tight robe with a geometric motive, and are accompanied by an inscription. Khabekhent, owner of the box, lived in Deir el Medina, the community of workmen in charge of building the tombs in the Valley of the Kings.
