This is the ushabti ๐ท๐ฟ๐ฏ๐๐๐ฎ๐พ of Sati, and the Brooklyn Museum has two ๐ป of them! The ushabti ๐ท๐ฟ๐ฏ๐๐๐ฎ๐พ dates to either the reign of Amenhotep III ๐ณ๐ง๐ or Akhenaten ๐๐๐๐ณ๐ ๐๐ (New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, c. 1390-1352 B.C.E.).
This piece is unique because of the color (I love the blue ๐ ๐๐ accents) and extreme attention to detail – the process to make it was so labor intensive that only a few like these were made!! While Sati was not royal (the only title associated with her was โmistress of the houseโ), these ushabtis ๐ท๐ฟ๐ฏ๐๐๐ฎ๐พ were clearly a royal gift just due to the craftsmanship that went into making it.
This ushabti ๐ท๐ฟ๐ฏ๐๐๐ฎ๐พ is made out of faience ๐ฃ๐๐๐ธ๐ผ and is mummiform in appearance, with the arms ๐๐ฆ crossed along the chest. In each hand ๐๐บ, the ushabti ๐ท๐ฟ๐ฏ๐๐๐ฎ๐พ is holding a hoe and a basket. This indicates that the ushabti ๐ท๐ฟ๐ฏ๐๐๐ฎ๐พ was meant to do some type of agricultural labor for the deceased ๐ ๐๐ฑ in the afterlife ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐! The ushabti ๐ท๐ฟ๐ฏ๐๐๐ฎ๐พ is also wearing a broad collar ๐ ฑ๐ด๐๐บ๐.
