Description
This lot features a finely preserved ancient Egyptian shabti, measuring 6.5 cm in height and 1 cm in width (approximately 2.56x0.39 inches). The shabti is composed of glazed faience, a material treasured in ancient Egyptian culture for its symbolism of rebirth and immortality. Shabtis were funerary figurines placed in tombs among the grave goods and were intended to act as servants for the deceased in the afterlife. The intricate hieroglyphs and detailed craftsmanship suggest that this piece was created during the Late Period of ancient Egypt, between 664 and 332 BC. Its historical significance is enhanced by the fine state of its glaze, which has withstood the test of time. This artifact represents a remarkable opportunity to own a piece of the ancient world, offering a direct link to the religious and cultural practices of one of history's most fascinating civilizations.
