Egyptian Tomb: Shabtis

In art we made shabtis out of clay. Shabtis are little statues that Egyptians would put in the tombs when going to the afterlife. First we made the head and body out of clay. Then we glazed them with any color we wanted to use. There was 2 different glazes an under glaze and an over glaze. The under glaze added color to the clay, while the over glaze made the clay shiny. One thing I like about my shabti is that it is shiny and has a headdress with a false beard.
