This finely hand-carved Ushabti figure, made from faience, represents a piece of ancient Egyptian funerary art. Dating from the Late Period to Ptolemaic Period (664–30 B.C.), this figure was likely placed in a tomb to serve as a labor substitute for the deceased, in line with Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife. The faience glazing, characteristic of the period, gives the figure a striking appearance with a subtle, reflective quality.
