Ushabtis, also known as shabtis or shawabtis, were small figurines placed in tombs alongside other burial items in ancient Egyptian religious practices. These figurines were believed to serve as helpers or workers for the deceased in the afterlife, ready to perform any manual tasks required. Typically depicted with a hoe and a basket, symbolizing agricultural work, ushabtis were inscribed with hieroglyphs on their legs to signify their willingness to assist the gods when called upon. This particular ushabti was created for Ahmose I, a significant pharaoh who established the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.
