NEW KINGDOM EGYPTIAN TALL WOODEN USHABTI
New Kingdom, Ca. 1408 - 1372 BC.
A tall wooden ushabti from the New Kindom possibly depicts Sethi I (father of Ramesses II). Standing in mummiform with slender legs. It has a tapering lower body, projecting elbows, and slanted shoulders. A man's face with fine eyes and eyebrows, a triangular nose, and a petite mouth rests between the flaps of a tripartite wig. The piece sits on an orange painted custom mount. Wooden ushabti are notably rarer than their stone or faience counterparts, since wood is generally more vulnerable to the elements. For similar see: Met Museum Accession Number: 15.2.10.
