Antique Egyptian Shabti Funerary Figure | Grand Tour Era (c.1780-1920s)

This antique Egyptian funerary Shabti is carved from stone composite and finished in a weathered blue-glaze finish, and was made for affluent visitors who traveled to Egypt on educational "Grand Tours" of various archaeologically significant sites in and around Europe between 1780-1920s; a time also known as the "Egyptian Revival Period."

Shabti were funerary figures in ancient Egypt that accompanied the deceased into the after-life to act as servants. This fine antique replica of an original ancient Shabti is ready for a new place of honor among the living.

This Egyptian Shabti is attested to as authentic and to have been made in Egypt during the “Grand Tour/Egyptian Revival” era by Mr Matthew Wicks of Ancient Hands, Ltd, and is accompanied by a digitally signed PDF copy of its "Provenance & Ownership" document.
