Historical Context & Origin
Region: Ancient Egypt
Material: Egyptian faience with aged mineral surface deposits
Period: Late Period, circa 664–332 BCE
An authentic ancient Egyptian funerary ushabti figure, finely crafted in pale blue-green faience and exhibiting the characteristic mummiform stance associated with these ritual companions of the afterlife. The figure stands upright with arms traditionally crossed over the chest, representing readiness to serve the deceased in the next world — a deeply important element in Egyptian spiritual belief.
Though softened by time, the facial structure, headdress form, and body proportions remain well defined enough to clearly identify it as a genuine ushabti rather than a modern interpretation. The surface displays beautiful ancient earthen deposits, encrustations, and mineral bloom consistent with long-term burial and antiquity.
