Clay shabti, with white wash, painted blue, black and red, uninscribed. Likely mould made, considerable surface loss to the figure, particularly around the face, upper torso, and on the back of the figure. The colour is generally well preserved, but it is best preserved on the bag wig. An inscribed curved line on the back of the figure represents the basket typically carried by agricultural workers/shabtis. The initial "GA" are visible on the back of the shabti also.
