Replika av forntida egyptiska Fajans Shabti-staty med hieroglyfer (Utan reservationspris)
This is a fine replica of an actual Shabti that reproduces every detail of the original figure and is a personal favourite in this size category.
The name stems from the Sha-wab tree, as early figures were made from its wood. Later figures employed a great variety of materials such as clay, faience{opaque blue green glass} plaster and stone depending on what you could afford. These figures were placed within the tomb of an individual to magically come to life performing any work required by the god Osiris in the afterlife.
A modest burial would have one or two figures, however during the late period the quantities included within a burial increased to allow a shabti for each day of the year plus overseers. Some burials had even more.
