Clay moulded shabti, painted with a geometrically arranged pattern of red bans, bordered by squares of blue, likely imitating the arrangement of bandages on a corpse. Further decoration is seen on the face of the shabti, and on the back, where a hoe is painted. Much surface loss has occured, and there are large areas where the paint has come away from the figure.
