➜ A finely hand crafted and hand painted shabti figurine, made from natural stone with traces of ancient-style pigments. The figure depicts a mummiform servant holding agricultural tools across the chest, representing readiness to serve its master in the afterlife. The facial details are carefully rendered with deep red and black tones, while the headdress and hieroglyphic inscriptions add authenticity and character. Subtle wear and patina enhance its historical charm, showing natural aging and mineral inclusions in the stone. This museum style piece reflects the traditional craftsmanship of funerary art inspired by the New Kingdom period. ➜ Why You’ll Love It: • Symbol of eternal service: In ancient Egyptian belief, shabtis were placed in tombs to serve their masters in the afterlife — performing agricultural and spiritual tasks on their behalf. This piece embodies that sacred purpose, representing devotion, loyalty, and the continuation of life beyond death. • Hieroglyphic inscription of meaning: The vertical band of hieroglyphs running along the figure’s body adds depth and mystery. These inscriptions traditionally invoked protective spells and ensured the shabti’s readiness to answer the call of the gods — a feature that gives this piece both historical and decorative significance. • Vivid artistic contrast: The earthy stone body contrasts with the black-painted headdress and reddish-brown face, creating a visually striking and balanced composition. Subtle remnants of blue-green pigment across the chest and waist bring a touch of colour that recalls the vibrancy of ancient Egyptian artistry. • Collector’s treasure: Beyond its aesthetic beauty, this figurine captures the essence of Egypt’s timeless spiritual culture. It makes a museum-quality display piece — ideal for collectors of Egyptian art, history enthusiasts, or anyone drawn to the mysteries of the afterlife. ➜ Don’t Miss Out: pieces with such detailed pigment preservation are increasingly rare and highly sought after by collectors. ➜ Height: 20 cm ➜ Width: 7 cm ➜ Weight: 528 gram ➜ Object: Egyptian Statue ➜ Material: Stone ➜ Origin: Egypt
