This image depicts an ancient artifact, specifically a shabti (or ushabti), which is an Egyptian funerary figurine that was placed in tombs among the grave goods and was intended to act as a servant for the deceased in the afterlife. Made of a greenish material, possibly faience, a type of glazed ceramic, the figurine shows notable age with evidence of wear and patination over its surface.

The figure is presented in traditional Egyptian mummiform, which means it is depicted with its arms crossed over the chest, emulating the posture often seen in wrapped mummies. This style was common for shabtis, which were meant to represent servants prepared to work on behalf of the tomb's occupant.

The shabti stands on a wooden block base that bears some handwritten notation, likely an inventory or catalog number, typical in museum or academic collections for identification purposes. These markings usually relate to the specific collection or classification system used by the institution that holds the artifact.
