Ruth Garrido Vila

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.
The lower part of the figure is missing, including the feet and base. The modelling is simple and schematic, with rounded head, minimally defined facial features and compact body proportions.
The coarse terracotta fabric and the modest execution are consistent with common funerary ushabtis produced during the Late Period and early Ptolemaic era, intended for private burials.
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
