SHABTI

faience

A small, dark blue glazed faience shabti, with details in black. The figure is moulded at the front but flat on the back. It carries two hoes and has a square basket on it's back. The wig is plain and decorated only with a simple seshed-headband, tied at the back. The text is down the front of the shabti, without borders.
