COLLECTION OF EGYPTIAN FAIENCE USHABTIS
Late Period to Ptolemaic Period, Ca. 664 - 30 BC. A collection of 10 faience ushabtis, each moulded in a simplified mummiform shape and covered in a blue glaze. All figures exhibit lightly defined facial features, a tripartite wig, and a false beard. Arms are crossed over the chest, holding a pick and hoe - agricultural tools symbolising the ushabtis’ role in performing manual labour in the afterlife on behalf of the deceased. Bodies are columnar and taper towards a small base. The reverse sides are plain and flat.For similar see: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Object Number: 74.51.4495.Size: 60-65mm x 18-25mm; Weight: 90gProvenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s; previously in 1970s UK collection.
