Terracotta ushabti figurine, Culture Ancient Egypt Dating Late Period to early Ptolemaic Period, circa 6th–3rd century BC Description Fragmentary terracotta ushabti figurine depicting a mummiform human figure, originally standing frontally with arms crossed over the chest.

Traces of burial deposits and surface encrustations are visible. Condition Fragment. Loss of the lower section (feet and base missing). Surface wear, erosion and deposits consistent with age. No restorations. Provenance Private collection of a French physician, formed before the 1970s. Dimensions Height (preserved): 44 mm
