Faience Ushabti ShabtiEgyptian Faience Ushabti
Beautiful turquoise color. Some earthen deposits remain. Great features.
circa 600 BC
10.80cm
49.32g
Ex-Zurgieh
To avoid undue work in the afterlife, Egyptians had themselves buried with numerous ushabtis, figurines that were intended to answer the summons of Osiris in place of the deceased. Ushabtis were usually mummiform, but their intention to work was made clear by the hoe usually carried over their shoulders and the basket on their backs. They were commonly inscribed with the name of the deceased inserted into the sixth chapter of the Book of the Dead.Jay GT404/15/21 at 18:28Serendipity: Yes, nice turquoise sheen!

Roman Key RingRoman bronze key ring
ring 24 mm, height 33 mm
13.72g
2nd century AD
A Roman Signifer (standard bearer) was also the cohorts banker. He kept records of what the soldiers deposited with him for safe keeping and he had the key to the strong box. Not only did the soldiers protect the Signifer to prevent the standard from being captured (which would be a disgrace) but also so that they could get their money back!
There is no way to know if this was an actual Signifer key as many other professions would have items locked away.Jay GT403/26/15 at 09:42Matthew C5: very neat item
