fun fact:
digital description:
This small mummiform funerary figurine was a surrogate for the deceased that performed menial tasks for its owner in the afterlife. Mold-made and decorated with paint, this shawabty contains the name of a king within a cartouche. The vibrant blue color occurs during the firing process as a chemical reaction with the pigments in the faience paste, in this case added copper.
