AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Decorated in turquoise, red, black, white and ochre on a brown ground with Hathor wearing the sun-disk, a magical servant figure of a shabti behind, both surmounted by what probably was the lower part of the spread wings of Isis. Exquisite. The servant figure beside the goddess symbolised the deceased entrusting themselves to the divine protection and magical providence of the solar deity, while relying on their shabtis for manual work in the Field of Reeds.
