Letโs look at some ushabti ๐ ฑ๐๐๐๐ญ๐พ figures! Gallery 126 at the MET has lot of ushabtis ๐ ฑ๐๐๐๐ญ๐พ on display and I LOVE being in this room!ย These ushabti ๐ ฑ๐๐๐๐ญ๐พ figures and shabti boxes belong to a woman ๐๐๐๐๐ named Nauny, who lived during the 21st Dynasty reign of the pharaoh ๐๐ป Psusennes I ๐๐ ๐๐ป๐ ฎ๐ผ๐๐๐.ย
The ushabti figures ๐ ฑ๐๐๐๐ญ๐พ that Nauny was buried with are made of blue ๐๐น๐๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฅ faience ๐ฃ๐๐๐ธ๐ผ and have featured and inscriptions ๐๐๐ฅ on them that are painted ๐๐ with black ๐๐ paint ๐จ๐๐ ฑ๐ญ๐ธ๐ฆ.
Nauny was buried with a total of 393 ushabti ๐ ฑ๐๐๐๐ญ๐พ figures that were divided amongst seven ๐ shabti boxes. The shabti boxes are made of sycamore ๐๐๐๐ญ wood ๐ฑ๐๐บ and painted ๐๐ with stucco. As demonstrated in the video ๐๐ ฑ๐, the ushabtis ๐ ฑ๐๐๐๐ญ๐พ๐ช are stored in an upright position in the box!
Normally a person was buried with 365 ushabti ๐ ฑ๐๐๐๐ญ๐พ figures – one for each day of the year, however, there were also overseer ushabtis ๐ ฑ๐๐๐๐ญ๐พ who would make sure the โregular ushabtisโ (which are actually known as โworker ushabtisโ) weโre doing their jobs!ย
