- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom, Ramesside, Dynasty 19 to 20, ca. 1295 to 1070 BCE. A pale green and black faience ushabti of Hori. He is a mummiform figure wearing a large collar, holding an ankh and a djed pillar, one in each of his crossed hands at his chest. He wears a large black wig with a sidelock. Below the hands is a long panel of hieroglyphs, nicely incised and painted to stand out clearly. This ushabti may be from Hori (the heiroglyph for his name is partial) and is dedicated to Osiris. During the Ramesside period, ushabtis were deposited into ceramic jars with lids shaped like the heads of the four sons of Horus. Size: 1.75" W x 6" H (4.4 cm x 15.2 cm); 6.2" H (15.7 cm) on included custom stand.
Ushabti (or shabti) dolls are figures shaped like adult male or female mummies wearing traditional ancient Egyptian headdresses. The ancient Egyptians believed that after they died, their spirits would have to work in the "Field of Reeds" owned by the god of the underworld, Osiris. This meant doing agricultural labor - and it was required by all members of society, from workers to pharaohs. The wealthier nobility in Egyptian society were able to have shabtis made of faience; its color was meant to reflect the color of the river Nile both on earth and in the afterlife.
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
