Description

Egyptian White Faience Shabti for Khaemwaset
Ramesside Period, 19th-20th Dynasty, 1305-1080 B.C. With black applied detailing to the face, arms, tools and block of hieroglyphic text to the lower body giving the dedication 'The illuminated one, the Osiris, Sem-(priest), Khaemwaset, true of voice.' Cf. similar item in the British Museum, London, under accession no.1868,0709.8. 87 grams, 13.3 cm high (5 1/4 in.).

Acquired from Alex Malloy, New York, U.S.A., 1970-1980s. Ex U.S.A. collection. Accompanied by an old certificate of authenticity ($2900.00).

Although lacking the title 'King's son', this shabti is probably for Prince Khaemwaset, offspring of Ramesses II, who was Sem-priest in the temple of Ptah at Memphis.
