The shabtis are funeral servers whose function is to replace the dead in their work in the next life. Appearing to the hundreds in some burial chambers, they are placed near the dead. This object, of exceptional artistic quality and in an excellent state of preservation, presents the classic characteristics of the funeral servers with respect to form, instruments and text.
