➜ Honor the silent servants of the afterlife with this exquisite handcrafted Ushabti statue, a museum-quality of a vital ancient Egyptian artifact. Known as "answerers" (shabti), these figurines were traditionally placed in tombs to perform manual labor for the deceased in the fields of paradise, ensuring peace and eternal rest. This unique piece captures the rich history and mystique of the pharaohs and makes a stunning addition to any collection or home altar. Historical Context of the Ushabti: • Role: Known as "answerers", these figures were expected to respond "Here I am" when the gods called upon the tomb owner to perform agricultural duties. • Inscription: Many genuine ushabtis feature Chapter 6 of the Book of the Dead spell on their surface, which animated them for service. This replica features detailed hieroglyphic symbols replicating these traditional texts. • Function: They are typically depicted holding farming implements—a hoe and a pickaxe—with a basket over their shoulder, ready for work in the afterlife fields. ➜ Height: 21 cm ➜ Width: 5 cm ➜ Weight: 345 gram ➜ Object: Egyptian Statue ➜ Material: Polystone ➜ Origin: Egypt
