This limestone shabti belongs to Nakht, Foreman, son of Djedjaemankh. It was found with the sarcophagus of the same person (Brussels E.0408) in a tomb at Abydos. Representing the dead in his mummy wrappings, the statuette is distinguished by a hieratic inscription written on the front of the shroud and telling us of the identity of the owner.
