Shabti of Djedhor, son of Renpetnefer
Late Period
Very little is known about the owner of this shabti. His name, given in the column of inscription on the front of the figure, was Djedhor, son of Renpetnefer, but his titles are not provided. Several other funerary figures belonging to this Djedhor are known. Some are like this one: small, with a single column of inscription. Other examples are larger, and bear a longer inscription in horizontal lines that begins with Djedhor's name and the name of his mother, and then continues with Spell 6 from the Book of the Dead. This says that if the deceased is called upon to cultivate the fields, irrigate the riverbanks, or ferry sand in the realm of the dead, the shabti will answer and do the work for him.
