Item Details
Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A finely preserved, mold-formed faience ushabti with a column of hieroglyphs inscribed vertically in front of the legs and chest. The mummiform figure stands atop an integral plinth while holding a pick and hoe in crossed arms. The face is turned just slightly to the right and features almond-shaped eyes and a smirking mouth above a plaited false beard, and the head is framed with the lappets of the tripartite wig. Lustrous glaze in hues of sage and faint turquoise envelops the entire figure in wondrous color. Size: 1.1" W x 3.4" H (2.8 cm x 8.6 cm); 3.8" H (9.7 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Dere Family collection, New York, New York, USA acquired in the 1980s
