この彫刻について

Nesbanebdjed’s burial was excavated at Tell er-Rub’a (ancient Mendes) in the Nile Delta by British Egyptologist James E. Quibell. The tomb was paved with limestone blocks. 360 faience ushabtis, and fragments of others, were recovered from the tomb. They comprised five types: 15 with a “very well modelled” horizontal inscription--of which this ushabti was one; 322 with a T-shaped inscription on the front of the body; 10 with 6 lines of inscription (presumably horizontal), “rudely made”; 5 with one line of inscription (presumably vertical); and 10 with no inscription, “rudely made.” All of those with inscriptions bore Nesbanebdjed’s name. Quibell suggested that the uninscribed ones, of which there were a large number of fragments, may have belonged to a burial discovered next to Nesbanebdjed’s, which is presumed to have been looted in antiquity.
