AN EGYPTIAN TERRACOTTA USHABTI, CA. 800-1000 BC
A terracotta ushabti from Ancient Egypt. Ushabtis were funerary figurines that originated in the Old Kingdom of Egypt. They were placed in tombs, often around the sarcophagus, to act as servants for the deceased in the afterlife. They are often depicted with arms crossed, carrying tools, and with hieroglyphs asserting their readiness to answer the gods' summons to work. On this ushabti each of the crossed arms holds an image of an Egyptian hoe, and the hieroglyphs written down the legs. The use of terracotta in the creation of ushabti was later in Egyptian history, as earlier models were often made with clay, wood, stone, and even wax.
