Ancient Egyptian Farmer Statuette - Wooden Ushabti or Agricultural Figure #1766332 (License: Personal Use)

This well-preserved wooden statuette, dating to Egypt’s Middle Kingdom (c. 2050-1710 BCE), portrays a male farmer in dynamic motion, gripping a hoe with both hands. The figure wears a white linen loincloth with pigment traces, and facial features-including kohl-lined eyes-are delicately rendered. Such figures were often placed in tombs as servant statues (ushabtis) or symbolic representations of agricultural activity to ensure sustenance in the afterlife.
