Description: | Upper body of a finely carved steatite shabti. The shabti has arms crossed over the chest with a broad hoe in the left hand, a narrow hoe in the right hand and a bracelet worn on the left wrist. He wears a beard, duplex wig and a wesekh collar over a pleated tunic with pleated sleeves. On the back of the shabti is a trapezoid bag/basket, slung over the left shoulder. The lower part of the shabti is missing. There is a round hole bored into the underside of the piece, presumably to attach to the lower section of the shabti (missing).
