A Shabti is
a small human figure representing a person who would perform a given
task for the deceased in the afterlife. The Amduat (underworld) included
tracts of land granted to the deceased by the sun god Ra from which the
blessed dead could receive their nourishment. Unsurprisingly, wealthy
nobles and royalty did not plan on doing any work themselves and so they
would take their (symbolic) servants with them. Early versions (Shabti or Shabtiu)
were modelled to represent the task that they would perform and given
tiny tools etc with which to complete their tasks. Later on Shawabti (and Ushabti)
were inscribed with a magical formula which would activate them (see
below). Shabti were made from various materials including; faience, wax,
clay, wood, stone, terracotta and, occasionally, glass and bronze.
