General comments:
This shabti dates to the 21/22th dynasty, circa 1000-700 BC. This can be determined, a.o. by the hairband, which first appeared in the 21th dynasty. Based on the greenish colour, the rather thick appearance, the small and clearly detailed hands, the shabti could date to the early part of the 22th dynasty rather than the 21th.
The shabti has several titles with in interesting text, it reads: The Osiris, the Godsfather, the Writer of the temple of the good God (Amun), Nes-ta-w (?), true of voice. In transliteration: Asir, it ntjr, ssh pr nfr ntjr, ns-tA-w, maA-chrw. No parallels are known to me.

Condition: The shabti has been broken at the feet but professionally restored. The faience shows wear, effecting most of the shabti. The shabti has hairline crack due to salt corrosions inside the shabti. The glyphs can be read clearly if the shabti is wetted with distilled water.

Provenance: From a old New York collection, name provided to purchaser.
