4	1978.44.4	Figurine	This piece is known variably as an ushabti, shabti, or shawabti figurine. These figurines were mass-produced during the New Kingdom period of Ancient Egypt in order to serve their role as funerary objects for the deceased. These figurines would often be carved in the likeness of laborers or farmers who would rise to serve the deceased as servants in the afterlife. They are typically inscribed on the back with specific spells or excerpts from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, which was believed to give them spiritual powers. This particular piece is typical of the size of many mass-produced ushabti and does feature hieroglyphic inscriptions on its back. These hieroglyphs do not, however, correspond to any segment of the Book of the Dead, indicating that they may serve as the name or title of the individual whose tomb they once occupied. Pieces such as these are incredibly common in museums due to the extraordinary amount of productions made in the New Kingdom. Because of the commonality of this kind of figurine and the damage done to the exterior, it is possible that this piece could be a forgery. XIIIth to XXVth Dynasties.

The composition of the piece and the portrayal of the woman's features suggest that this is an authentic piece of Nubian-Egyptian culture.
