This is a really interesting shabti for Pa-ef-Iwoe, the name of his mother is Sjep-en-Aset, following by Chapter 6. It is a really rare depiction of a shabti, which entire body is inscribed with hieroglyphics. Also remarkably is, that the shabti doesn’t have a back pillar, although he comes from the 26th dynasty. Arms crossed at the chest, protrude from the shroud to hold in the right a small pick or hoe and in the left the rope of a basket. It is a bit curious, because the basket with crossed fibres is carried behind the left shoulder, there were the pick or hoe is. On the right, where the rope is, is only a „triangle“ behind the shoulder. Shabtis with a single tool are only known for Ankh-Hor, Pa-di-Mahes, Pa-di-Hor-resenet and one group of King Senkamanisken.

Contrary to the Ankh-hor and Pa-di-mahes (painted hieroglyphs) shabtis, which are the only shabtis with comparable iconography, this one has a small trapezoidal base.

For other shabtis for the same owner, see: 
Louvre, Numéro principal: E 20139 and E 20261
British Museum: BM/Big number EA34188, EA71207 and EA34057

For comparable shabtis of Ankh-Hor and Pa-di-Mahes. see:

Pa-di-Mahes, with painted hieroglyphics: Louvre, Numéro principal: N 2667 78
