Shawabty of Ditamenpaankh

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Shabwty of Ditamenpaankh, by an unknown artist, is a small figurine depicting a standing mummiform figure. The figure has a rounded head with a smooth face and a long, curved beard that falls to the chest. The arms are bent at the elbows with the hands held in front of the body. The figure wears a long, straight garment that covers the body from the shoulders to the ankles. The surface is predominantly gray with patches of brown and blue. The figure stands on a small base and casts a shadow to the right on a dark gray background.
