ushabti

Sophia Ushabti

This is a ushabti that I made.(shawbity is how you pronounce it)

I made him in art. Ancient egyptians used ushabtis in the afterlife to do work for them king tutt had one for every day of the year. when I made this ushabti it was not that difficult. I just use some pictures like this one here. This one is more professional but they look similar enough. Making the ushabti was really fun and really easy, he only took me one class to make if you don’t count glazing it. ushabtis were like little pharaohs with whips and like I said before pharaohs the had them in their tombs in the afterlife isn’t that cool. 10660572_1
