The ushabti (also called shabti or shawabti, with a number of variant spellings) was a funerary figurine used in ancient Egyptian funerary practices. The Egyptological term is derived from đ ąđđđđđž wšbtj , which replaced earlier đˇđŻđđđđž šwbtj , perhaps the nisba of đđŻđđ šwęŁb " Persea tree".
Egyptian faience is a sintered-quartz ceramic material from Ancient Egypt. The sintering process "covered [the material] with a true vitreous coating" as the quartz underwent vitrification , creating a bright lustre of various colours "usually in a transparent blue or green isotropic glass".
Stick shabtis had a different purpose to most of the normal ushabtis. While ushabtis were most often placed into the burial chamber and had the function to work for the deceased, stick shabtis were always found in the overground cult chapel of Egyptian tombs, only at Thebes. They are often placed into roughly carved model coffins.
