This shabti in green faience was discovered in a pyramid at Nuri. The statuette, which bears the hieroglyphic text of the Chapter 6 from the Book of the Dead, is in the name of Madiqan, daughter of the king Senkamanisken (E.6097, E.6099, E.6103, E.6109A-B) and wife of the kings Anlamani (see E.6108) and Aspelta (see E.7106A-B). She wears a long wig crowned by the skin of a vulture. In the hands, she holds a pair of hoes. The left shoulder supports a square sack suspended by a cord.
