The following is excerpted from a letter by Dr. Campbell Price, Curator of Egypt and the Sudan, Manchester Museum, The University of Manchester in the UK, regarding this ushabti. It reads, After consultation with a colleague based near here in Manchester, I am able to tell you that the shabti depicts the 2nd Prophet of Amen, Pa-shery-en-Iset (lit: 'The child of Isis'), who was buried in Middle Egypt, at the site of Hermopolis, tomb no.2, found in 1926 (for further details, see the journal Annales du Service des Antiquities de l'Egypte no. 26, 1926, pp. 41-43). As so often, the finds from the tomb were split up and some entered the private art market - including this chap.
