A ushabti figure
King Tut's Tomb contained 413 ushabti figures, and all were intended to
represent the king and to allow him or help him to achieve duties in the afterlife. Some of the many Ushabti figures are really simple but the rest like the one above were more difficult to make and were carved from wood. Its also an example of a portrait of the king.
The figure shown above is a wrapped mummy wearing a gold and gilded crown. It also shows it holding the
royal emblems, the Crook and the Flail.
