Large terracotta shabti, wearing the tripartide wig, holding hoe and mattock, basket on the back, details painted in black and red. A column of hieroglyphs painted in black on the front reads: sHD Wsir wr-djw DHwtj-ms mAa-xrw meaning: “Illuminating of Osiris, the great one of five, Thutmose, justified.” The title wr-djw ‘great one of five’ designates the high priest of Thot at Hermopolis Magna. Several shabtis dating to the 19th dynasty are known which belong to one or more high priests of Thot, called Thutmose. The owner was probably buried at Tuna el-Gebel, the necropolis of Hermopupolis Magna. Size: 19 cm L - 7 1/2 inches Material: Terracotta Culture: Egypt, c. 1292-1085 B.C.
