One of the many ushabtis of Tutankhamen wearing the red crown of the North. Tukankhamen by Christiane Desroches Noblecourt, page 171. Ancient Egypt was once divided into two kingdoms. The kingdom in Lower Egypt was called the red crown and the Kingdom in Upper Egypt was known as the white crown. A Ushabti (also called shabti or shawabti) is a small figurine of Ancient Egypt, included in the grave goods of the dead. They are human form statues that were made to serve and do labour in the afterlife of King Tut. The figure was believed to magically animate after the dead had been judged and work for the dead person as a servant or substitute labourer in the fields of Osiris. The "ushabti" is also named the: "follower", or " answerer" because they "answered", for the deceased person, and performed all the routine chores of daily life, for them. Some tombs had the floor covered, with tens, or multiples, of ushabti figurines, produced in quantity, for the journey, of the deceased. In the l8th Dynasty the statuettes started to combine the mummiform figure of the deceased with agricultural or other implements. The ushabtis were used from the 11th Dynasty but became common and numerous in graves from the 21st Dynasty. They symbolically replaced genuine sacrificial burials. Materials used to carve the figures began with wax and clay; later figures were of stone, terracotta, metals, glass and, most often, glazed earthenware.
