Ushabti 2

Ushabti means 'answerer' – one who answers for the deceased. The popular explanation is that these figures would substitute for the deceased in performing any work required in the afterlife – the inscriptions on them would seem to bear this out. They first appear in the Middle Kingdom (c.2000 BC) but are not common until the New Kingdom (c.1500 BC). They were usually placed in the tomb of the deceased, by the late period in very large numbers. They were made of a variety of materials including wood, stone, pottery and faience. This example is probably made of faience, and is likely to date from 770-330 BCE.

它最早出现于古埃及中王国时期（约公元前2000年），但直至新王国时期（约公元前1500年）才得以广泛流行。
这类俑像通常被安置于逝者墓中，至古埃及后期时，其使用数量已极为可观。
