A rare piece of ancient wood, preserved by Egypt's arid climate, carved by hand into a mummiform shape to form an ushabti. Shabti (or ushabti) dolls are figures shaped like adult male or female mummies wearing traditional ancient Egyptian headdresses.

This meant doing agricultural labor - and it was required by all members of society, from workers to pharaohs. Size: 2.15 W x 7.7 H (5.5 cm x 19.6 cm), 9 H (22.9 cm) on included custom stand.
