Hixenbaugh Ancient Art is pleased to present its latest online exhibition devoted to Egyptian shabtis. The exhibition features a wide range shabtis from the New Kingdom to the Late Period, in a variety of forms and styles, from carefully molded faience shabtis, glazed in vibrant blue and green hues symbolizing regeneration, to cast bronze examples and finely carved wood and limestone figures. Many have Hieroglyphic inscriptions naming their owners and invoking spells from the Book of the Dead. Each piece reflects the reverence the ancient Egyptians held for their journey into eternity.

These artifacts, often commissioned by royals, nobles, and high-ranking officials, provide a glimpse into the personal devotion and beliefs surrounding the afterlife. Whether as a stand alone piece or as part of a curated collection, shabtis are a fusion of ancient heritage and timeless elegance, ideal for both seasoned collectors and those new to the world of antiquities. This holiday season, let the enduring legacy of ancient Egypt inspire and captivate through this remarkable collection.
