Item Details
Description
A fantastic Egyptian faience ushabti, Late Period, 27th Dynasty, c. 525 - 402 BC, mummiform, wearing tripartite wig and false bead, arms are folded across chest with the hands holding hoes and a bag over the left shoulder. There is a nicely preserved T-Style inscription down front and a plinth on back . Original green glaze now has faded to light brown. H: 6 1/2 in, (16.5 cm). From the 27th dynasty on, when Egypt became a province of the Achaemenid Empire, the faces of ushabtis adopted a faint smile, similar to that found on Greek Kori, which can be seen on this piece. Ex West Sussex, England Private Collection, acquired over half a century through auctions, dealers and antiques fairs
