Acquired March 1977. From the private collection of Peter Clayton, FCILIP, Dip, Arch, FSA, FRNS, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, UK; formed since the late 1950s. Accompanied by an old handwritten information card by Peter Clayton, collection no.126.
This rather rudimentary, peg-like shabti is characteristic of those for Ramesses IV, VI, and VII, as well as of non-royal figurines of the 20th Dynasty. Because of their virtually featureless appearance, which relies entirely on painted details, this shabti type has been referred to as 'à contours perdus' ('with lost outlines').
