EDITORS COMMENTS
This Shabti figure, dating back to the 7th century BC during the 25th Dynasty's Third Intermediate Period, is a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of ancient Egypt. The Shabti, or servant figurines, were believed to serve the deceased in the afterlife, carrying out various tasks and ensuring the continuity of daily life. This particular Shabti, made of granite and representing Pharaoh Taharqa (also known as Tarakos or Nejeh), was discovered in Pyramid 1 of Nuri in Sudan. Taharqa ruled Egypt from 690 to 664 BC, making him a significant figure in the Kingdom of Kush's rule over Egypt. The Shabti is anthropomorphous, with a bearded face and a hieroglyphic inscription on its front, identifying it as a representation of Taharqa. The figure holds the symbols of power, the crook and flail, in its crossed arms. The hieroglyphs inscribed on the figure's back read "Manethos, son of Nejej," indicating that this Shabti was made for a specific individual. The figure's headdress is adorned with the nemes crown, a symbol of royalty. This Shabti, now housed in the British Museum in London, provides a fascinating glimpse into ancient Egyptian religion and funerary practices.
