Description

White faience shabti with an anonymous inscription. Shabti wears a tripartite wig, with slight indications of modeled ears. Hands are modeled, and hold faint remains of painted adzes. A column of poorly preserved text runs down the front of the shabti, and seems to read "The Illuminated One, the Osiris." There is a triangular painted basket on the shabti's back.
