In the spotlight

Shabti, Ushabti or servant for the afterlife.

A shabti is a small figure that was placed in the tomb of an Ancient Egyptian.

The Ancient Egyptians believed that the afterlife would be the life to e lived,

so they created shabtis to serve the dead in their next life doing tasks such as irrigating the river and farming fields.

Although the design, materials and size of figures changed over time, all shabtis have several features in common.

Shabtis are based on human figures that have been mummified and just like mummies, shabtis are usually sculpted with their legs bound together and their arms folded.

It is a common feature for older shabtis to feature an inscription in hieroglyphics on the lower part of the body.

This was later replaced with the name and title of their owner.

The inscription was a spell binding the shabti to the deceased and calling them to serve in the afterlife.

Shapti Spell
Although there are lots of variations of the spell, it could be translated into english as:

O, shabti, if you are called upon.
To do all the work that needs to be done in the afterlife.
“Here I am!,” you will say when you are called to serve.
To farm the fields, to irrigate the river and to ferry sand.
“Here I am,” you will say.

Fossils

Fossils are the preserved remains of plants and animals whose bodies were buried in sediments, such as sand and mud, under ancient seas, lakes and rivers.

Fossils also include any preserved trace of life that is typically more than 10 000 years old.

Soft body parts decay soon after death, but the hard parts, such as bones, shells and teeth can be replaced by minerals that harden into rock.

In very exceptional cases, soft parts like feathers, plant ferns or other evidence of life, such as footprints or dung, may also be preserved.

Remains can include microscopically small fossils, such as single-celled foraminifera or pollen grains, as well as more familiar fossils such as ammonites and trilobites.
