Dating of the shabti based on the T-band inscription, that first appeared in the 27th Dynasty but became most common in 30th Dynasty, and the bulging eyes.
The text is mainly illegible. It appears to read: The illuminated, the Osiris, overseer of building activities, Pa-di-?-ta, born from ?-Isis-?.
3 signs are written on the back pillar, one is the determinative for speaking, followed by two htp-signs or crosses. The meaning is unknown. Furthermore, it seems that the text is written partly outside the T-band on the left front side which is highly unusual.
