Abstract
Description
This hollow-moulded unglazed grey earthenware funerary figurine covered with a cream slip shows a standing male civil official wearing a robe with long sleeves clasping his hands in front of his chest. His hair is tied into a bun and his face is rather expressionless. These figurines were almost always made in moulds, the front and back being cast separately. They were placed in the tombs as helpers in the afterlife
