He held a number of diplomatic positions in the Holy See, was ordained in 1634, and became bishop of Nardo in 1635. Pope Innocent X elevated him to the role of secretary of state in 1651, and in the following year he was appointed a cardinal. Alexander VII supported various construction projects in Rome, wrote poetry and patronized artists working on the decoration of churches. -

Grand Tour Green Glazed Egyptian Shabti

With black detailing to the tripartite wig, bands of hieroglyphic text to the lower body. 153 grams, 15.5 cm

Property of a Devon, UK collector, acquired at auction; previously in a private UK collection.
Shabtis have been a popular tourist souvenir for centuries. Perhaps the earliest example is a reproduction shabti of the Renaissance period that was once part of the collection of Archbishop William Laud (1573-1645). While most reproduction shabtis originate from Egypt, some figurines were made in Europe. For instance, in the late 19th century, the Sèvres factory in France produced soft-paste porcelain shabtis with a beautiful bright turquoise glaze.
