Overseer Shabti
An overseer shabti for Meretamon, wearing the projecting triangular apron of everyday life, her arms crossed right over left on the chest with hands protruding from the wrappings. Each hand holds a hoe. The round face with big eyes is framed by a black double wig. A short vertical hieroglyphic inscription painted on her kilt, gives the name of the deceased: ‘The prophet of Hathor, the Lady of Medjed, justified’.
