From Egypt’s Ramesside Period, New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, ca. 1295-1180 BC. Carved from a single piece of wood, shabti was once covered with a base coating of gesso. Thus prepared, with this undercoating in place, the body was painted white. The white color represented the mummy’s wrappings, and final bandaging. Down the front of the body runs a long panel of red where an identifying inscription was written. Here is where the owner’s name, titles, position of status, and possibly names of parents were written. Today the figure still wears a formal black tripartite wig, face and hands colored with red/ochre. Typically, Egyptians used this color for the faces of men, while women were colored with a yellow. The red coloring suggested a sun-burned skin, and the time men spent out of doors working and attending to affairs of day to day life. Women of affluence typically worked in doors, and out of the direct sun light. Standing in the Osirian pose of resurrection, with arms and hands tightly crossed are over chest. 8-1/4"H (21cm) not including the custom display stand, aside from the visible signs of age, the shabti is intact without mends or repair. Appears to have a museum de-accession number on base.

Not only are these two wonderful examples, they've been professionally conserved, framed and ready to enjoy! Coptic, Egypt, ca. 3rd to 6th centuries AD. Brown on tan background, each rectangular panel comprised of scenes of birds, animals and humans looking quite happy and animated! Using intricate patterns and vivid colors, Coptic weavers created masterpieces of textile art. Coptic textiles, used for rugs, wall hangings and clothing appliques, were exported throughout the Roman and Byzantine empires. Coptic tunics and shawls were standard garments during this time. Framed piece measures 14" x 12". Ready to display!

Egypt, 26th dynasty or shortly thereafter. A large composite ushabti, made for the Overseer of the Treasury Psamtek, whose good name is Iahmes, the son of Bastetiiridies. More »
Egypt, 26th dynasty or shortly thereafter. A large composite ushabti, made for the Overseer of the Treasury Psamtek, whose good name is Iahmes, the son of Bastetiiridies. Psamtek is holding pick and hoe in his crossed hands and is carrying a small seed back over his left shoulder. His face, with a broad nose that is typical for all the shabtis of this important man, has a friendly expression. His tripartite wig and plaited beard are rendered with great detail. With back pillar and plinth. Hermann Schlögl has suggested (on the basis of the shape of the face) that this shabti may come from middle Egypt. The ushabti has eight lines of hieroglyphs, containing spell 6 from the Book of the Dead, the so-called shabti-spell. "Oh, these shabtis, if one counts off the Osiris, the Overseer of the Treasury Psamtek, whose good name is Iahmes, justified, born to Bastetiiridies, to do any work which is done there in the god's land - indeed, an obstacle is implanted therewith - as a man at his duties: "Here I am", you shall say; you are counted off at any time of serving there, to make arable the field, to irrigate the riparian land, to transport by boat the sand of the West to the East: "Here I am", you shall say." 6-7/8"H (17.5 cm), intact, with some staining and discoloration as visible on the photographs.
