Condition: Good condition. Repaired foot.
Provenance: Italian private collection, acquired on the art market in France on February 26, 1999.
Description:
Ushebti of mummiform form for Takasa, with a tripartite wig. The details of the face are highlighted in black, as are those of the rest of the piece. The arms are crossed from left to right across the chest and the hands hold a pair of black-painted hoes.
