The Ushabti is a small glazed clay doll, also known as the faience shabti dolls, designed in the form of a mummy. They bear hieroglyphic inscriptions and were buried as talismans with the deceased. The primary source of information about them is the sixth chapter of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, spoken by the priest Nesnbasfe, who says: "O Ushabti, when Ozir the priest of Montu Nesnba-Sefi commands you to do any work in the realm of the afterlife, such as cultivating fields, irrigation, transporting sands from the east to the west across the river, you should answer: 'Yes, I will do it. I am here when you call me.'" They have been discovered in archaeological contexts in Bronze Age Palestine, particularly in Jericho graves, highlighting the depth of cultural relations between Canaan and Egypt.
