Faience ushabtis
Eighteen of forty-five faience ushabtis (cf. 27-4-1068, same type); crudely cut (but not by same hands as 27-4-1068, varying considerably in workmanship and in details of beard and basket, apparently work of several hands of no great skill), fine hard paste, thin greenish blue glaze usually worn and faded to pale drab (cf. 27-4-1068), beard with two faces marked by incised lines, basket also marked by lines: a) larger and very crude.
Illustration: Yes
