This shabti shows the mummiform king holding the crook and flail, the emblems of Osiris. He wears the double crown and a false beard. The facial details are painted, and it is still possible to detect the almond-shaped eyes characteristic of this king. The text, also painted on the statuette, consists of a version of chapter 6 of the Book of the Dead.
