Object description
The work is a mummified pseudo-ushabti with a striped wig typical of the New Kingdom style. There is no artificial beard. The arms are crossed over the chest; both hands hold hoes; there is no basket. The face is oval with a markedly elongated nose, large eyes, thick lips, and large ears. A necklace with two engraved lines is depicted below the neck. The cartouche with the inscription Mn-ḫpr-Rс is placed between the hands. On the front is a "hieroglyphic" text in four horizontal lines and a vertical column at the bottom. This inscription is poorly preserved and is only an imitation of the text.
