When hands are crossed, or together like this, or placed one above the other, this positioning indicates the region of manufacture. The piece is solid-cast, not hollow-cast.
This is a beautiful shabti. Dating to the Saite Period in Egyptian history, circa 672 - 525 BC, otherwise known as the 26th Dynasty.
Such an expressive face. His large nose and bulging eyes typical for this period. He sports a very stylish, braided beard, a characteristic typical of shabtis in the Late Period.

This is the SMALLEST ancient Egyptian ushabti I've ever handled. It's made from bronze, and was mistaken for a figure of Osiris, but there are no plumes on the crown, and a discernible seed-sack on the left side of the back, and thus must be a shabti. Bronze shabtis are unusual, and shabtis this small are even rarer!
Measures 23.75 mm tall, not including the permanent perspex plinth. ...click for details
