Faience ushabti; head and feet missing; [this ushabti belongs to mold type i (mentioned on OR page 568), OR page 568 refers back to mold types described on OR pages 557 and 558; there are no mold descriptions on either page and each page applies to a different group of ushabtis (and fragments) attributed to two different men (Wahibre, and Ahmose son of Wahibre); all from various rooms in pit G 7632 A; the only "mold i" described for either of these groups applies to ushabtis of Wahibre: body thick and clumsy, face wide and heavy, base heavy and often ill-formed (see OR page 556)].

  • Remarks
    See OR page 568 for information not included in description; the majority of ushabtis specifically identified (by object registration number) on OR page 568 belong to separate and distinct groups described elsewhere, the identity of the ushabtis that constitute the group of uninscribed ushabtis described on OR page 568 is unknown; only two registration numbers (25-2-903 and 25-2-744) are not specifically associated with the groups of ushabtis attributed to Wahibre and Ahmose, portions of which apparently are included in the OR page 568 concordance.
