Description: For consideration is a vintage Metropolitan Museum of Art, MMA Shabti of Tjebure reproduction. It measures approx 8.25" in height including its base and weighs 7 oz. The shabti reproduction is in excellent, vintage, pre-owned condition free of damage and repairs. I believe it is made of some type or resin. It is a well made finely detailed piece that would make a nice addition to a collection or gift. My photos are part of the description so please view carefully for better idea of item/condition. Feel free to ask questions. Check out my feedback and buy with confidence. I will combine shipping where possible. I will only ship to address on file with Ebay. Prompt payment is appreciated. Please leave feedback and I will do same. The following is a description of the original at the MMA: This finely carved stone shabti, made for a man named Tjebure, depicts the owner's body wrapped like a mummy but with the hands visible resting open on the thighs. An image of Tjebure's spirit - orba- in the form of a human-headed bird, spreads its wings over his chest just below an ornamental collar. Representations of the ba-bird joining with the mummy are frequently included in the Book of the Dead, a collection of spells intended to help the deceased on the journey through the underworld. Another example of this imagery can be seen on a Late Period coffin belonging to Ankhshepenwepet. Lines of text wrapping around the front and sides of the shabti record an inscription to ensure that the shabti will respond if Tjebure is required to work in the afterlife.
