The figure is inscribed with a text of eight lines which translates as follows: 1) Illumine Osiris--Har, child of Hathor in the necropolis, when he says: O; 2) Ushabti, this O Osiris--Har, child of Hathor in the necropolis; do the work that is to be done; 3) there in the necropolis. Then you will smite there, as a man about his affairs; 4) Behold me, say you, when one counts; 5) at any time, to act there in the necropolis; 6) to cause to grow the fields, to cause to fill the channels; 7) to carry sand from the east; 8) to the west. Behold me, say you. - (PF.0479) « Less

Ushabti can be translated as “the answerer,†a term directly related to its function in the afterlife. Initially, only one ushabti was interred with the deceased. When the call came for the departed soul to “work,†the ushabti would take its place acting as a surrogate and leaving the soul in peace. Later, in the New Kingdom, hundreds of ushabti were part of the funerary accouterments and served as slaves, much as their human counterparts did in the real world. The number of figures depended on the individual's wealth. Ready for hard work, this elegant ushabti holds two hoes, one in each hand. Embodied in its form is the essence of ancient Egypt, combining the sacred element in the divine mummy shape, and the rural aspect of labor in the fields. Blue and green faience were the most prized and valuable, considered worthy even for kings. The lovely green of the stone reminds us of the verdant fields watered by the Nile, flowing eternally, as does the life force that nourishes all living things.Perhaps no single object epitomizes the spirit of ancient Egypt better than the ushabti. Shaped like a divine mummy, the ushabti evokes the magical side of Egyptian belief in an afterlife. The two hoes clutched in the hands and the basket carried on the back recall the rural, agrarian culture of the land. The word ushabti (supplanting the older term shawabti) literally means "the answerer." The function of these little figures is described in Chapter VI of the Book of the Dead: "O this Ushabti! If (the deceased) is called upon to do hard labor in the hereafter, say thou: I am here." The ushabti was expected to answer the call to work in place of the deceased, and this passage was frequently inscribed on the figures themselves. Originally, a single ushabti was placed in any given tomb. But by the New Kingdom the statues had come to be regarded as servants and slaves for the deceased, rather than as a substitute. Many have been found buried together, along with an overseer figure. In the course of Egyptian history, ushabti were created from wood, stone, metal and faience. In the cultural renaissance of the XXVIth Dynasty (Saite period), a green faience, the color of the Nile and evocative of the verdant landscape in springtime, was particularly popular. To look upon an ushabti is to come face to face with the mystery and magic of Egypt itself. - (PF.1130) « Less

With a flowing striated headdress and rectangular beard, the ushabti is made in the form of a mummy. Its legs are a single unit, the arms vertical with the hands exposed appearing as if crossed. The effect is as if the figure is tightly wrapped in cloth, holding a hoe in each hand pressed tightly against its sides. The face is very nicely modeled with expressive eyes and a delightful smile on the lips. Ushabti, or the “answerer,†were interred with the dead to serve as surrogate “workers†for the deceased in the afterlife. In the New Kingdom, numerous ushabti were part of the funerary accouterments made to function as slaves. The fine quality of this ushabti, and the fact it is made of costly faience, indicates its original owner was someone of wealth.Perhaps no single object epitomizes the spirit of ancient Egypt better than the ushabti.

In the course of Egyptian history, ushabti were created from wood, stone, metal, and faience. The stunning blue hue of this faience ushabti imitates the color of lapis lazuli, one of the most rare and prized minerals in the ancient world. The blue is also evocative of the life forces of the sky and the sea. To look upon an ushabti is to come face to face with the mystery and magic of Egypt itself. - (PF.5925) « Less
