The Green Head, which takes its name from the colour of the material used, is one of the outstanding achievements of Egyptian round sculpture of all time. The artist's clearly expressed familiarity with the anatomical structure of the human face is just as unique as the certainty of its depiction and realisation in artistic form. Nevertheless, the Green Head should not be seen as a realistic portrait of an anonymous civil servant or priest, but as a successful attempt to convey the spiritual depth and transcendence of human existence.

From the Middle Kingdom onwards, the deceased were given small figurines to take with them into the grave to carry out fieldwork for them in the afterlife. This custom was also adopted for the decoration of royal tombs in the 18th dynasty. Of the 413 ashtis in Tutankhamun's tomb, one small group stands out in terms of size and artistic design: The so-called magnificent ushabtis. Our example shows the king with the Blue Crown and the insignia crosier and frond in his crossed hands. The inscription reproduces the six chapters of the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
