Item Description: Translate description
A finely molded faience ushabti from the Ptolemaic Period, dating to approximately 332–30 BC. The figure stands in traditional mummiform posture with arms crossed over the chest, holding agricultural implements, and wearing a tripartite wig and false beard—iconic features associated with funerary servant statues. Crafted in pale blue-green faience, the ushabti reflects the enduring ritual practices of ancient Egypt even under Hellenistic rule. These figures continued to be placed in tombs as magical substitutes for the deceased, expected to perform labor on their behalf in the afterlife. While uninscribed, the form is stylistically typical of Ptolemaic ushabtis, which maintained continuity with earlier New Kingdom and Late Period types.
