Description: | Old writing reads "Y27" and "138" Sedment Egypt Ushabti figure with pale blue glaze. The hair is dark, and the four collar bands, arms, tools and inscription are also added in black overglaze. There is no basket on the back.
The inscription translates as, "To illumine the Osiris, User-Hat".
The inscription includes the name Osiris, because of the belief that it was through making sacrifices to Osiris that a person could be resurrected after their death. The person could then reach the Afterlife, and take on the name Osiris, because of the process they had been through. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | MUMMIES : USHABTI : BECCA : MED1_2007 : NORTH AFRICA : MSERPICO2 : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
