Oesjabti's worden reeds aangetroffen in het funeraire grafmateriaal van het Middenrijk. Vanaf het Nieuwe Rijk, werd in theorie hun aantal op 365 gebracht samen met 37 aanvoerders voor elke ploeg van 10 arbeiders. Aangezien ze geacht werden het werk van de overledene in het hiernamaals op zich te nemen, waren ze voorzien van kleine werktuigen. Deze mooie oesjabti in blauwe faience behoort tot de grote verzameling funeraire beeldjes van farao Seti I. Pruik, wenkbrauwen, halssnoer en landbouwwerktuigen, die de oesjabti in de handen houdt, zijn in het zwart geschilderd. De tekst is ontleend aan Spreuk 6 van het Dodenboek.

Shabtis are already found in funerary equipment of the Middle Kingdom. From the New Kingdom, they theoretically numbered 365 workers and 37 overseers, one for each team of 10 workers. It is thought that they were expected to undertake forced labour in the next world on behalf of the deceased, and thus they were often provided with small model tools. This superb shabti in blue faience was one of the large collection of funerary figurines made for Sethos I. The wig, eyebrows, collar, as well as the agricultural instruments which the shabti holds in its hands, are painted in black. The text is taken from chapter 6 of the Book of the Dead.

Les ouchebtis sont déjà attestés dans le matériel funéraire des tombes du Moyen Empire. A partir du Nouvel Empire, ils étaient théoriquement au nombre de 365 et 37 chefs d'équipes de 10 ouvriers. Censés exécuter dans l'Au-delà les corvées à la place du défunt, ils étaient souvent pourvus de petits modèles d'outils. Ce bel ouchebti en faïence bleue faisait partie de la grande collection des figurines funéraires du pharaon Séthi I. La perruque, les sourcils, le collier et les instruments agricoles, que l'ouchebti porte dans les mains, sont peints en noir. Le texte est emprunté au chapitre 6 du ''Livre des Morts''.

Uschebtis sind schon in der Ausstattung der Gräber des Mittleren Reichs belegt. Seit dem Neuen Reich bilden sie theoretisch die Zahl von 365 zuzüglich 37 Vorsteher der aus jeweils 10 Arbeitern bestehenden Trupps. Gedacht dazu, im Jenseits die Pflichtarbeiten an Stelle des Verstorbenen auszuführen, waren sie oft mit kleinen Werkzeugmodellen ausgestattet. Dieses schöne Uschebti aus blauer Fayence ist Teil der großen Sammlung von Totenstatuetten des Pharaos Seti I. Die Perücke, die Augenbrauen, die Halskette und die landwirtschaftlichen Instrumente, die das Uschebti in seinen Händen hält, sind schwarz aufgemalt. Der Text ist dem Kapitel 6 des ''Totenbuchs'' entnommen.

Gli usciabti sono già attestati nell'equipaggiamento funerario delle tombe del Medio Regno. A partire dal Nuovo Regno, essi erano teoricamente in numero di 365, 37 capi di squadre di 10 operai. Poiché si presumeva che essi eseguissero nell'aldilà le corvées al posto del defunto, erano spesso muniti di piccoli modelli di arnesi. Questo bell'usciabti in fayence azzurra faceva parte della grande collezione delle figurine funerarie del faraone Sethi I. La parrucca, le sopracciglia, il collare e gli strumenti agricoli, che l'usciabti regge nelle mani, sono dipinti in nero. Il testo è tratto dal capitolo 6 del Libro dei Morti.

Os chauabtis já s&atilde;o atestados no material funerário dos túmulos do Império Médio.  Desde o Império Novo, teoricamente o seu número era de 365, aumentado por 37 chefes de equipa (contramestres) de 10 trabalhadores.  Porque eram supostos executar no outro mundo os trabalhos em lugar do defunto, muitas vezes eram munidos de pequenos modelos de utensílios agrícolas.  Este bonito chauabti em faiança azul fazia parte da grande colecç&atilde;o das figurinhas funerárias do faraó Seti I.  A cabeleira, as sobrancelhas, o colar e os utensílios agrícolas que o chauabti segura nas m&atilde;os, foram pintados em preto.  O texto corresponde ao capítulo 6 do "Livro dos Mortos".
