Made in a mould and very well preserved, the features of the face, among other details, are nicely visible. Condition: some nicks as noted, overall nicely preserved. Accession numbers to the bottomUshebtis, an Egyptian term meaning 'those who answer', are small statuettes that were placed in tombs in ancient Egypt as part of the grave goods of the deceased, and whose function was to replace them in the work they were to carry out in the afterlife. Most were made of ceramic, wood or stone, although in the richest tombs they could be found carved in lapis lazuli. The oldest surviving examples come from the Middle Kingdom, although references to them can be found in texts from the end of the Old Kingdom. After the sacred scarabs, ushebtis are the most numerous and possibly the most characteristic pieces of Egyptian art that have survived to the present day. Throughout the ages they have always had the same function in the religious sphere, but while during the Middle Kingdom they were conceived as a representation of their owner before Osiris in the work of tilling the kingdom of the shadows, replicas of the deceased, from the New Kingdom onwards they came to be seen as his servants or slaves, and were produced in large numbers.
