Blue glazed shabti of Psamtek, with back pillar and incised hieroglyphs. No obvious signs of damage to the figure, aside from a pin that has been attached to the base of the shabti in the 20th Century, which would have been used to mount the shabti onto a base for display. Also visible on the base, is a postage stamp scrap, with partially illegible writing (1896 is visible).
