Their primary purpose was to serve the deceased in the afterlife by performing tasks on their behalf. The term "ushabti" is derived from the ancient Egyptian word "wsb, " meaning "answerer." These figurines were believed to come to life in the afterworld and respond to the call of the deceased, undertaking labour or chores assigned to them.Size: 92mm x 25mm; weight 25gProvenance: Private UK collection; acquired on the UK art market, pre-2000.
