Context (Amendments / updates)
This shabti originally had no specific provenance beyond 'Egypt'. Based on parallels in other museums, Glenn Janes identified it as probably from the Valley of the Kings, KV 19, which has been added as a separate entry. The tomb was discovered by Belzoni in 1817. There are parallels in the following collections: Cairo, and Kazan (5404(28)). Further examples have been offered for sale on the art market – one complete Ede 2007, [no. 16]. Another is known in a Dutch private collection.
