Antique Egyptian Shabti: Grand Tour Era (c. 1780-1920s)

This is a lovely terracotta weather-worn shabti from the Egyptian "Grand Tour Era" (c. 1780-1920s). The piece is in good antique condition, and displays appropriate age related wear.

The surface of the Shabti is a light stone color with green tinting. The reverse is smooth with more and darker green coloring. The figure has a tripartite wig, almond shaped eyes, triangular nose and prominent lips. Around the neck is a six-stranded collar. The arms are well formed and crossed over the chest, each hand holding a flail. Below the arms is a rectangular panel surrounded by a single line, inside which are a series of authentic hieroglyphics. The feet are indicated by a flaring of the base but are not fully formed.
