Ushebtis of the Third Intermediate Period from the Chapel of Hatshepsut in the Queen’s temple at Deir el-Bahari
Journal Title: Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
A collection of 619 whole and fragmentary ushebti figurines dating from the Third Intermediate Period was recovered between 2004 and 2007 by the Polish team excavating in the Chapel of Hatshepsut, an integral part of the Queen Pharaoh’s mortuary temple in Deir el-Bahari. The figurines include objects of faience, clay and painted clay, all relatively small and roughly modelled. They represent a category of objects that is seldom published separately. The paper presents a typology of the ushebtis based primarily on the material from which they were produced, discussing their chronology and find contexts as well.<br/><br/>
