Shawabty of Ditamenpaankh

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Shawabty of Ditamenpaankh is a small, light blue figurine with a rough texture and visible signs of aging. The figurine is elongated and cylindrical in shape, with a rounded top and a flat bottom. It has a small, indistinct head and no discernible arms. The surface of the figurine features a light blue glaze that has worn off in some areas, revealing a brownish-red material underneath. There are also white patches on the surface, possibly from a previous restoration or conservation effort. The figurine is set against a dark gray background, which provides a stark contrast to the light blue color of the object.
