The image shows an ancient Egyptian artifact known as a "shabti," which is a funerary figurine typically placed in tombs among the grave goods and intended to act as a servant for the deceased in the afterlife. This particular shabti appears to be made of a light-colored material, possibly faience, and features inscribed and painted details. The figure has a mummiform shape, mimicking the wrapped appearance of a mummy, with its arms crossed over the chest. The details include linear and geometric patterns; there are brown or rust-colored lines suggesting the folds of the mummy wrappings and a broad collar or necklace. Noteworthy are the gilded accents, with golden triangles that likely represent the collar ends and possibly other jewelry elements. There are remnants of other pigments, perhaps indicating that the shabti once bore more elaborate decorations now faded or worn away. The lower part of the shabti is damaged, with the feet area missing. The context and the intricate details indicate the object's role in the funerary practices of ancient Egypt, serving an important religious and cultural purpose.

The image shows an ancient, carved stone object. It appears to be a ceremonial or religious artifact, with a distinctive shape and decorative elements. The surface of the stone is weathered and has a mottled, textured appearance, with some areas of discoloration. On the front of the object, there are several triangular shapes made of what appears to be gold or gilded material. The overall design and craftsmanship suggest this was an important and significant object in its historical context, though without additional context, I cannot provide more specifics about its origins or purpose.
