As the iconography of shabtis became increasingly associated with agriculture from the reign of Thutmosis IV onwards, shabtis were occasionally buried equipped with miniature tools. These were relevant to their function, as detailed in Chapter 6 of the Book of the Dead, to 'stir the earth and transport it'.For similar examples of miniature glazed composition hoes and baskets, see the Louvre Museum, Paris, inv. nos.
