by Ancient Egyptian (Unknown), -1336
Ancient Egyptian The only known complete funerary figure (shabti) of the pharaoh Akhenaten. He wears a royal beard and khat headdress with a protective cobra (uraeus) at the brow. Made from granite, it stands just 10 5/8 inches tall and dates to around 1353-1336 BCE.
Over 200 shabti fragments inscribed for Akhenaten are known, but this is the only one that survived intact. There's a paradox here: shabtis were connected to Osiris worship, which Akhenaten banned when he imposed monotheistic worship of the Aten. Yet over 200 fragments exist. The king's shabtis carry only his names and titles, lacking the standard Book of the Dead spell (Chapter 6) that compelled the figure to work in the afterlife.
It's in Gallery 121 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
