Peter Reynaers

➜ On offer here is a stunning replica of wooden Funerary ushabti box, inside this kind of box used to have a small unbaked mud figures called shabtis, one for each day of the year. These were meant to carry out manual labor on behalf of the deceased if she were called upon to work in the afterlife.

➜ The box is covered in a layer of gesso and painted. The decoration on two of the opposing sides is identical. on the front side you can see the goddess  Isis wings spread across the box, embracing and protecting the deceased in the afterlife. Also there is two of god Anubis is shown as a jackal.

➜ Lid - a single piece of wood and as was usual for shabti boxes of this era, each lid was painted with an image of a boat in green-blue, yellow, and red, with a band of blue-green beneath the boat to represent water. These representations are likely connected with a pilgrimage to the sacred site of Abydos, cult place of the god Osiris, ruler of the dead. By traveling to this holy place, either in reality or symbolically, the deceased became associated with this god and was aided in his or her journey to join the ranks of the blessed dead. The boat has its sail up, as if it were traveling south on its return from Abydos.

➜ At the bottom of the box there is a six vertical hieroglyphic registers.
