This shabti of the royal scribe Harkhebi, son of Khaemkhonsu and Neferneith, is distinguished by its large head, which has a broad wig, a false beard and large pierced ears, all characteristics of shabtis of the Saite Period. The carefully modelled hands hold agricultural instruments. The front and the back of the statuette bear a hieroglyphic version of chapter 6 of the Book of the Dead.
