Standing at a height of 11.7 cm, this exquisite piece is part of a private collection. Shabti figures were commonly placed in tombs to assist the deceased in their journey through the afterlife. This particular figurine features intricate details such as a carved nemes headcloth, crook and flail held in its hands, and a false beard adorning its chin. The hieroglyphs inscribed on its body further enhance its significance within funerary rituals. The mummiform shape adds an element of solemnity to this statuette, symbolizing rebirth and resurrection. Its osiride posture signifies the connection with Osiris, the god associated with death and regeneration.
