Shabti Box of Yuya

New Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 119

This painted shabti box was found in the tomb of Yuya and Tjuyu in the Valley of the Kings. Although not of royal lineage, as in-laws of the king, Yuya and his wife Tjuyu were given a sumptuous burial in the royal cemetery. Three exquisitely carved shabtis (30.8.56–.58) in the collection and a second shabti box (30.8.60) are also from this tomb.
