Shabti of Pa-her-mer

Mummiform shabti wearing a tripartite wig with striations added in black. A pair of small breasts are indicated in the modelling below the lappets of the wig. The arms are crossed left over right on the chest, and the hands hold a pair of hoes added in black. A square–hatched small trapezoidal basket with loops in the uppermost corners is carried on the back. The face is well–formed, and has the eyes with brows added in black. A vertical column of inscription on the front of the shabti reads: “The Osiris, the Overseer of the Treasury, Pa–her–mer, justified". Excavated by Arthur Cruttenden Mace during the 1899-1900 season at Abydos, Cemetery D, Tomb 14B. There are three other shabtis for this owner in our collection. Broken across the middle and mended. Transliteration and translation of the inscription: sHD Wsir im.y-r pr-HD PA-Hr-mr mAa-xrw, "The Osiris, the Overseer of the Treasury, Pa–her–mer, justified".
