A shabti (or ushabti) is a small funerary figurine from ancient Egyptian tombs, dating from around 2000 BCE to 30 BCE. Its main purpose was to assist the deceased in the afterlife by performing tasks like farming. Shabtis were often inscribed with a magical formula from the Book of the Dead to ensure they would come to life when needed.
