This is one of the better fakes shabtis on the market.

Made from a mould taken from a genuine ushabti of

Tious son of Taideret.

 

 



It comes in two versions, with and without a stripped tri-partite lappet wig.

 




I am not going to say anything at all  about how one can be certain it is essentially a reproduction. It is well made  enough and one  does not want to let the maker know how to improve the deception.

One has already sold on eBay with a certificate of authenticity.

This was, as far as I know the first one which was sold on eBay.
