This fragment of an ushabti was uncovered in the tomb of Queen Meresankh III. This is a sketch from the archaeologists' journal depicting the ushabti.
An ushabti was a magical artifact that was buried with the dead and meant to serve to do a day of work for the deceased in the afterlife.
We humbly ask for your help. We need your support to keep Mused running.
We're the largest independent hub of digital cultural heritage, and we survive on donations of about $30 USD. Less than 1% of people donate. If everyone reading this donated $5, our fundraiser would be done within a day!
We support training and providing technology to the communities that take of the monuments where we work to digitize their own cultures. For the price of a cup of coffee, you can continue preserving cultural heritage for future generations.
Thanks for reading, and we hope you'll consider donating. — Luke Hollis, Cofounder, Mused
