- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A fine mold-formed faience ushabti covered in vibrant blue-green glaze. The figure stands in mummiform atop an integral rectangular plinth and against a back pillar, holds the symbolic pick and hoe in crossed arms, and has a seed bag draped over its left shoulder. The visage is defined by bulging almond-shaped eyes beneath heavy brows, a prominent nose, full lips flanked by gaunt cheeks, and a plaited false beard, all between a simple tripartite headdress. Five lines of inscribed hieroglyphic text wrap around the front of the figure's legs and, though faded, likely represent a prayer invocation from chapter 6 of the Egyptian Book of the Dead (literally the "Book of Going Forth by Day"). Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 1.75" W x 5.625" H (4.4 cm x 14.3 cm); 5.875" H (14.9 cm) on included custom stand.
