Description: | Egypt Ushabti figure with light blue glaze. Head-band, basket and straps, tools and inscription added in black. Feet broken.
Inscription translates, "The Osiris, Mutesankh, justified".
Ushabtis were placed in tombs in Egypt, and were probably intended to do the work of the deceased in the Afterlife. Many ushabtis would be placed into a tomb; they would be divided into groups of ten, each group also having an overseer. | 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: | : USHABTI : BECCA : NORTH AFRICA : | 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 |
