Shabti figures were created to carry out heavy manual tasks on behalf of a person in the afterlife. The body of a shabti was usually in the form of a mummy and often depicted with tools in their hands, such as baskets, picks, and hoes. During the Late Period, it was customary to be buried with hundreds of shabtis. [No Reserve]
