Shabti of Wedjahor, born of Shedet

Late Period

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 127

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 Neith.

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.
