Item Details

Description

Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A lovely faience ushabti with finely delineated facial features as he stands mummiform atop an integral plinth, all coated in a brilliant, azure-hued glaze. He holds a pick and hoe in hands crossed atop the chest and has a seed bag incised behind the left shoulder. Crowned by a tripartite wig, his round visage features a straight, heavy brow above a naturalistic nose, a closed mouth, and a false beard extending from the chin. The pretty blue glaze would have been a reference to the Nile and the heavens, thus representing the universe, creation, and fertility. Size: 1.3" W x 4.3" H (3.3 cm x 10.9 cm)

Shabti or ushabti dolls are figures shaped like adult male or female mummies wearing traditional ancient Egyptian headdresses. The ancient Egyptians believed that after they died, their spirits would have to work in the "Field of Reeds" owned by the god of the underworld, Osiris. This meant doing agricultural labor was required by all members of society, from workers to pharaohs. By the Third Intermediate period, this practice had become so necessary and elaborate that some tombs contained one worker for every day of the year and thirty-six overseers, each responsible for ten laborers. The wealthier nobility in Egyptian society were able to have shabtis made of coveted faience, and blue faience was meant to reflect the color of the river Nile both on earth and in the afterlife.
