Notes
[One of] fifteen faience mummiform ushabtis of 'Iw.f "3, Iuefaa. Each wears a non-striated tripartite wig. The hands are crossed, right over left, the right holding a hoe and the left a pick. A single column of inscription occurs on the back pillar.
Condition: All the figures are black in color, some with glaze intact. The discoloration is due to either misfiring at the time of their making or to their being subjected to fire at some later date. The overall modeling of the facial features is poor. Many of them show damage as well as crack marks and pitting
The writing of the name shows three variations:
