Shabti-

A Funerary figurine, usually in the form of a mummy, which served as a dead man’s deputy in order to do labor for him, mostly agricultural, in the afterlife. This term applies to these figures prior to the 21st Dynasty but after the end of the First Intermediate Period, and really only to figurines inscribed with chapter six of the Book of the Dead. Otherwise, they might better be defined by the generic term, funerary figurines. The Shabti counterparts after the 21st Dynasty were called Ushabti, and Shawabti (were a distinct class of funerary figurines within the area of Thebes during the New Kingdom).

Although the price at the pump has gone down, now that the handwriting on the wall tells the major oil companies that their profit taking is about over, take a look at the cost of deisel fuel. The shipping costs have not gone down for that reason. We all look forward to the day when they do. However, we will continue to offer free shipping on certain orders.
