This image features an ancient Egyptian faience figure representing a mummiform shabti—a funerary figurine typically placed in tombs among the grave goods. The figure is turquoise in color with a lustrous finish and displays hieroglyphic inscriptions etched across its lower half. These inscriptions are likely spells from the Book of the Dead intended to assist the deceased in the afterlife. The figure is dressed in traditional pharaonic garb, denoted by the broad collar and the hands crossed over the chest, commonly holding royal regalia, although the specific objects are not distinguishable in this image. The craftsmanship indicates the figure may have been intended for an individual of some status. It is presented on a simple, sleek black stand, which provides a sturdy base and contrasts starkly with the figure's bright hue, accentuating its details and the hieroglyphs.
