Description: | Old label reading, "ZED-KHONSU-AUF-ANKH, DIVINE FATHER" MANU Egypt Head-band, tools, eyes and inscription are all added in black, but have now turned to mauve. The hands and arms are moulded, and the toes are rounded. There is a blue-black patch on the top of the head. Inscription translates, "The Osiris, beloved of the god, Djetkhonsefankh, justified". Ushabtis were placed by Egyptians in tombs. Their purpose was probably to carry out tasks for the deceased person when they reached the Afterlife. Ushabtis came in sets; these were subdivided into gangs of ten workers, each group having in addition an overseer.
