Ancient Egyptian Authentic Large Blue Glazed Tomb Statue // Museum Display

This jaw-dropping collection from RARE-T features a staggering array of authentic antiques, artifacts, oddities, skulls, and cruelty-free taxidermy from various eras in history.

This custom museum display showcases an authentic Large Blue Glazed Ushabti Tomb Statue dating from 664-525 BC, part of the 26th Dynasty. This ancient Egyptian tomb statue features a good blue glazed faience ushabti, finely moulded in mummiform, wearing a tripartite wig and plaited divine beard.

The face is beautifully defined with incised mouth, large almond shaped eyes and faint ears. The arms are crossed on the chest, hands protrude from a shroud to hold a flail in each fist, the right hand also holding a twisted rope connected to an seed sack behind the left shoulder. Horizontal bands of carved hieroglyphic inscriptions cover the lower chest and legs (usually a passage from the Book of the Dead) . It also has shallow dorsal pillar at back.

Ushabti figures were placed in ancient Egyptian tombs in order to serve the deceased in the afterlife. They hold objects (in this case flails and a basket) that they will use to work. It's protected under plexiglass in a custom display to keep it looking pristine, ensuring protection of your investment while allowing you to fully appreciate this piece of collectible ancient history. The customized descriptive metallic plaque, in addition to the detailed finishing, add to the elegant, gallery quality look. Complete with a certificate of authenticity, this piece is an investment that will only get better with age.
