FAQs

Shabtis, also known as ushabtis, were funerary statuettes placed in ancient Egyptian tombs. They were intended to act as manual labourers for the deceased in the afterlife, carrying out agricultural tasks required by Osiris.

Shabtis were manufactured from various materials depending on status and era, including glazed faience, carved wood, limestone, granite, and bronze. Faience was particularly favoured for its distinctive turquoise glaze, symbolic of rebirth.

Authentic faience displays a crystalline silica core underneath a sintered glass glaze, often showing age-appropriate surface weathering, minor glazing variations, and evidence of ancient mould casting techniques rather than modern precision casting.

Small ancient antiquities are typically styled within glass display cabinets, placed on library bookshelves, or mounted on understated acrylic stands atop sideboards to create focused focal points within a room.

Egyptian faience should be kept in a stable climate with low humidity to prevent salt crystallization. Dust should be removed gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaning agents.
