Shabti with Cartouche

Shabti with Cartouche

Shabti, terracotta, modern, dark grey shabti in coarse terracotta with hands folded over chest and cartouche of Thutmose III above. This famous type of replica shabti is produced widely in Egypt during the 19th and 20th centuries for the tourist market and is often sold as authentic to unsuspecting buyers. The use of the cartouche of famous pharoahs is common. Indistinguishable glyphs including a horizontal cartouche over the legs. Broken and rejoined. Not originally listed on lender's old register of Sinclair collection material, but certainly part of the same colleciton and wrapped origianlly in a yellowed tissue consistent with other pieces.
