Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom, 20th Dynasty, ca. 1189 to 1070 BCE. A stunning funerary ushabti figure that is hand-carved from limestone for an individual named Paduamunapt. The dignified figure presents in a standing, mummiform pose atop an integral plinth while holding an agricultural pick and hoe in well-defined hands crossed atop the cloth-adorned chest; a seed bag is incised behind the left shoulder. Sensuous, almond-shaped eyes peer forward from between elongated canthi while broad nostrils, gently pursed lips, and deep nasolabial folds define the overall physiognomy. Eight lines of intricately incised hieroglyphs wrap around the legs and midsection, each starting and stopping along a defined central space along the verso. Size: 1.37" L x 1.78" W x 5.7" H (3.5 cm x 4.5 cm x 14.5 cm); 6.7" H (17 cm) on included custom stand.

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. As a result, they are frequently depicted with arms crossed, holding picks and hoes, with baskets on their backs. This meant that the task of agricultural labor was required by all members of society, from workers to pharaohs.
