Hello hive today I'am writing about an Egyptian bronze statue so I hope you enjoy.
They were placed In the Tombs of Ancient Egyptian to work for the Deceased In the afterlife.
Those symbol's are called hieroglyphs which mean words
According to Ancient Egyptian beliefs when the dead came to life the ushabti's would also come to life and perform tasks usually Inscribed with a spell from the Egyptian book of the dead. To bring them to life and they were usually one ushabti for every day of the year but only the very wealthy could afford this. They could be made from various materials bronze, wood, clay etc and the one I have is on loan from my Grandfarther.
Thanks for reading my article, I'll see you on the next one.

A real treasure that small statue! How long do you already have it? How did you come to acquire it?
thank you
This is amazing!
How is it that you have that in your hand just like that? Hahahaha. Incredible.
What material might it be? This green stone resembles very much of the ancient Jade used by mayans and aztecs in Mexico.
Blessings.
