Title : Egyptian Glazed Faience Ushabti (Framed)
Condition report : Figure is ancient, display frame is modern. Figure has chip to one frontal corner of foot, with abrasions and extensive fading to glaze pigment and hieroglyphs and softening to most finer details. Nice preservation to overall form. Figure displayed inside frame with an adhesive pad and could possibly be removed, but we do not recommend doing so as it could damage the back of the figure itself.
