Peter Reynaers

Ancient Egyptian Ceramic Ushabti
Circa 664-332 BC - Late Period
This ceramic ushabti is characterised by its typical mummiform representation, featuring a columnar body and hands held on the chest. The figurine is adorned with a tripartite wig and displays a nicely detailed face.
The ushabtis' inclusion in tombs was associated with the concept of the "Field of Reeds," an idealized afterlife in Egyptian mythology. The figurines were expected to cultivate the land, ensuring a bountiful harvest for the deceased. The ushabtis' mummiform representation symbolized their role as substitutes for the deceased, ready to fulfil their duties in the eternal realm.
Dimensions: 6cm x 2cm x 1cm
Provenance: Private European Collection; formerly acquired from old UK and European collection formed since the 1970s.
