Shabti of the chantress Amun Anhai



Shabti of the chantress Amun Anhai
Painted clay shabti of the Ramesside Period, with frontal column of hieroglyphs naming a woman named Anhay. Despite the crude quality, the owner must have belonged to the middle-ranking elite, as she bears the title 'chantress of Amun' given in the New Kingdom to wives of officials. Dozens of shabtis were placed in shabti boxes buried beside the coffin at this period.
