| Description |
Three shabti. On the left is a green faience shabti of Aspelta, King of the Nubians, created in Egypt about 593 to 568 BC and found in Nuri, Sudan. In the middle is a white faience shabti of Senkamanisken, King of the Nubians, created in Egypt about 643 to 623 BC and found in Nuri, Sudan. On the right is a serpentine shabti of Senkamanisken, King of the Nubians, created in Egypt about 643 to 623 BC and found in Nuri, Sudan. Shabti were funerary figurines placed in a tomb. Should the deceased be called upon to do manual labor in the afterlife, the deceased could call upon the shabti to do the work for them. Vast numbers of shabti would be created for a pharaoh, or nobleman. Shabti were inscribed with the deceased's name, and the phrase "I am here and will come wherever you bid me." Shabti also often had quotations from the sixth chapter of the Book of the Dead written on them. |
