3 RARE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ANTIQUE Tomb Shabti Ushabti Statue Egypt History (GF)
Height : 12 cm
Width : 4 cm

A shabti (also known as shawabti or ushabti) is a generally mummiform figurine of about 5 - 30 centimetres found in many ancient Egyptian tombs. They are commonly made of blue or green glazed Egyptian faience, but can also consist of stone, wood, clay, metal, and glass. The meaning of the Egyptian term is still debated, however one possible translation is ‘answerer’, as they were believed to answer their master’s call to work in the afterlife.
