Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A mold-formed faience ushabti figure covered in turquoise-hued glaze that stands in mummiform, holds a pick and hoe in crossed arms, and has a seed bag draped behind one shoulder. A T-shaped bar of hieroglyphs is inscribed along the waistline and in front of the legs and, while untranslated, likely provides the name and title of the dead. Size: 1.125" W x 4.3" H (2.9 cm x 10.9 cm)

Minor abrasions and fading to glaze, with softening to some hieroglyphs and finer details, and light earthen deposits, otherwise intact and very good. Great remains of glaze pigment and nice preservation to many hieroglyphs.
