This fine shabti of Kasa dates to the early 19th Dynasty, probably to the reign of Seti I. The quality of this shabti indicates that it belonged to a high ranking official, though with no given title, we cannot be sure of his rank, but in quality it has much in common with other shabtis of Seti I. For comparison, see an example in the British Museum, acc.no.EA8899, while another Seti I shabti, in the Cleveland Museum of Art, acc.no.1914-585, has a similar beaded pectoral.
