Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom, dynasties 18 through 20, ca. 1570 to 1070 BCE. An exceedingly rare wooden amulet in the form of an ushabti box. Larger boxes such as these were designed to hold the faience servants employed in the afterlife. Tapered rectangular box with 4 inset panels, one of the side panels with faint remains of hieroglyphs, possibly indicating the individual for which this was created. Small suspension loop at top and sliding panel at the base. We have seen very small bronze sarcophagi that were designed for housing mummified animals (shrews, lizards, etc.) but we have not found a comparable example so can only speculate on what this may have held.
