There is wear to the black paint on the face, wig and skirt, otherwise in good condition. Provenance: Private collection M.R., England, acquired in 1975 / J. Bagot Archaeological Gallery, Barcelona, 2015; Exhibited: Ifergan Collection, Malaga (2018-2020). With export permit for the year 2023. Measurements: 16 cm. This ushebti figure is depicted as a man in everyday dress. On his head and in black, he wears a double wig, smooth on the back and front, but wavy on the two locks that rest on his shoulders.

The hands, joined at the level of the pubis, are joined to form a V with the arms.
