What is Ushabti:
Ushabtis look like human figures that have been mummified, usually with their arms crossed over their chest. Some, like the Getty’s ushabti, were very carefully made, with detailed features, while others are much simpler.
According to Egyptian beliefs, when the deceased came alive in the afterlife, the ushabtis would also come to life and perform any menial tasks that the deceased might be asked to do. Egyptians depended heavily upon agriculture in daily life, and it was assumed that the afterlife would be similar, so most ushabtis are depicted holding agricultural tools like hoes or bags of seeds to continue this farmwork in the afterlife. To make sure the ushabti knew what to do, each figurine was usually inscribed with a short spell from the Book of the Dead. This spell was designed to bring the ushabti to life and gave the ushabti instructions for performing work on behalf of the deceased.
