Shabti of Wedjahor, born of Shedet
This shabti is one of about 400 of Horwedja found in a tomb at Hawara. Horwedja was the son of Shedet, and a priest of Neit.
Horwedja and a number of other individuals were buried in the tomb, excavated by Petrie in 1888-1889. Many of the mummies were wrapped with rich amulet sets, and a few of them like Horwedja had fine sarcophagus and coffin sets.
