Text transliteration: "wsir nsw nb-tAwj Tkrt-mr-Imn". Parallels in Aubert, J-F and L., Statuettes Egyptiennes: Chaouabtis, Ouchebtis, Paris, 1974, pp. 160-161, plates 47-50, Montet, P. Kêmi 9, 1942, pp. 14-15, fig. 9 plate II., Schneider no. 4.3.0.9. and “Tanis, L’Or des Pharaons”, Paris, 1987, p. 148 no. 32. The shabti workers of King Takelot II comprise two well-differentiated series: the first one shows a classic NK look, with well-designed tripartite wigs tied up with a headband (no other 22D Tanite king wears the seshed); the second series includes more diverse shabtis, with curled headdresses and very realistic facial details. The one shown here belongs to the first series. |
