An Egyptian Blue-Glazed Faience Shabti Figure, Possibly Ancient.
A slender shabti figure crafted in pale blue-glazed faience, shown in a classic mummiform pose with crossed arms. The face is softly modelled with a serene expression beneath a tripartite wig, while the long, tapering body is finely inscribed with a vertical band of hieroglyphic-style motifs. The glaze presents a mottled surface of light blue and beige tones, with subtle surface weathering throughout. The reverse displays a straight, raised back pillar running the full length of the figure.
H: Approximately 13cm
Provenance: Private collection from a distinguished Danish collector.
