Translated Egyptian Glazed Faience Ushabti

Item Details

Description

Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A beautiful light blue, mold-formed faience ushabti figure standing in mummiform position: feet and legs fused together on an integral plinth, arms crossed, facing forward. The face has a serene expression with a traditional postiche beard, and is crowned by a tripartite wig. The hands hold two hoes and a seed bag is slung over the left shoulder, indicated by incised lines. The backside has a hieroglyph message in black ink: "Osiris, priest of Neith (Patron goddess of the city of Sais), Wah-jib-Re." Ushabti's were created to accompany the dead to the afterlife as servants and the message was a prayer to give life to the figurine. This is a fabulous example of the mummiform companion with a beautiful aqua glaze and fine details. Size: .75" W x 2.68" H (1.9 cm x 6.8 cm)

Ushabti (or shabti) dolls are figures shaped like adult male or female mummies wearing the 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 and it was required by all members of society, from workers to Pharaohs. The hieroglyphic inscriptions imbued the ushabti with power and they became servants that did the hard labor for their masters in the afterlife. This ushabti, with the seed bag and hoes, is thus ready to aid in this task. By the Third Intermediate period, this practice had become so necessary and elaborate that some tombs contained one ushabti worker for every day of the year and thirty-six overseers, each responsible for ten laborers!
