19th century wooden gilt Shabti with rubbed gilding, strong presence and Grand Tour appeal, mounted on a later granite base.
Why We Love This
This Shabti has extraordinary presence - tall, serene, and beautifully timeworn. The rubbed gilding gives it a soft, ancient glow, while the carved form retains that unmistakable Egyptian elegance so admired during the Grand Tour era. Its sculptural, atmospheric, and full of quiet gravitas.
