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. His implements are intact - a pick in one hand, a hoe in the other and a seed sack slung over his left shoulder for sowing the fields for his owner in the afterlife. He's profusely inscribed. His name is Ankh-Hor. He measures 112 mm (4.44") tall. He has suffered a single break to his waist, but that was repaired some time ago, and there is a small abrasion to the glaze on the lappet wig behind his right ear. Otherwise. the piece is in choice condition. A wonderful piece. Provenance is provided to purchaser.

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. Dates to the Late Period, circa 664-332 BC, as the seed sack is on the left side of the back. I would judge that if the seed-sack were in the middle of the back it would date to the Third Intermediate Period or the New Kingdom, but the crude styling and diminutive size, this must be Late Period. Condition: feet missing, but otherwise good. Provenance provided to purchaser.
