Description
Horemheb 1
Mummiform figurine in greenish faience. Tripartite wig with an Osirian braided beard. The face clearly shows the eyes, nose and mouth, and the large ears typical of this individual’s shabtis. Arms crossed. The hands hold the pick and the hoe. There is no bag on the back.
The back pillar is inscribed. Inscription on the front and on the back pillar. All details are in raised or sunk relief; there are no painted details. Unfortunately, although it is in good condition, it has a complete break at the bottom, at leg level. There is also a crack on the right side of the face.
