Shabti for Nakht-Amun in the dress of the living

This figure is shown dressed in a long underskirt, long pleated kilt and double wig, but is still holding two hoes in his hands, just like a normal worker-shabti. The short column of text on the front of the kilt and the four lines running around the figure contain the shabti formula with the demand to show up for work.
