Brilliant blue glazed composition shabti for Padimayhes with six rows of black painted hieroglyphic text containing the Late Period version of Chapter 6 of the book of the dead (the so-called shabti formula). Early part of the 26th Dynasty,. 664-595 B.C., 3.26 inches excluding stand. Perfect with good bright blue coloring which is deeper blue and better than the photographs indicate. Mounted on a modern wooden stand for display. Ex English private collection and prior to that sold by Eternal Egypt in 1995 who mis-attributed the piece to "Pef-Iu". Attribution and authentication done by Miss Carol Andrews, former deputy keeper of Egyptology at the British Museum who provided the historical detail shown below. A copy of her report will be sent with the piece. "This man is known only from his shabtis but from their iconography of a single tool, apparently unique to the funerary figurines of a select group of Theban high officials of the 26th Dynasty, it is highly likely that he was buried as they were in the cemetery of Asasif on the Theban West Bank. The almost identical appearance of the shabtis of Ankhhor suggests Padimayhes should be dated to the early part of the 26th Dynasty, ca. 664-595 B.C. Most of the shabtis of Padimayhes are in the Museo Egizio in Turin but five examples in Geneva have also been noted."
