EGYPTIAN BLUE FAIENCE SHABTI OF NESYTANEBETISHERU - SUPERB. Third Intermediate Period, 21st Dynasty, Ca. 1075 - 945 BC. An amazing hand-built faience ushabti of Nesytanebetisheru, standing in a dignified pose, enrobed in layers of incredibly lustrous, brilliant blue glaze. The figure presents in characteristic ushabti fashion, standing in mummiform with fused legs and feet, crossing both arms atop the chest with a pair of black-painted picks in his hands, and with a seed bag draped from both shoulders down to the middle of his back. The protruding visage exhibits gently modelled features like almond-shaped eyes outlined heavily with black pigment, a flush nose, a slender mouth with indented corners, and tall ears, all framed within the striated lappets of his tripartite wig.
