Dylan Bickerstaffe is still trying to trace a photograph of this shabti, shown in this drawing – Plate XCI by Lancelot Crane, from Theodore Davis’ The Tombs of Harmhabi and Touatankhamanou (London 1912).
The figure is 23.5 cm high and numbered CCG 60472.
If anybody has a photograph, Dylan would be very appreciative! I have reposted so that the new drawing is obvious. Dylan believes it was on display in the Cairo Museum in a cabinet of selected ‘choice’ items, upstairs near the front. It was one of the cabinets recently broken into – but it isn’t an item reported stolen.
