A companion shabti for Huy although made of steatite but with the same title ‘Chief Sculptor,’ was in the G. Howard Collection of Egyptian Art in America. This particular shabti was exhibited in a museum in Catania, Sicily in 1999 (27th March-30th June) and also published. ¹ It has a ba-bird across the chest but unlike Cat no.16 wears a striated tripartite wig and has a basket on the back. The inscription on both figures appears to be identical. It is clearly evident that both shabtis are the work of the same craftsman. This figure is now in the collection of Dr. T. Dyer in the US.

This reading of the name of the owner of this shabti appears to cause much confusion. It has been suggested by Niek de Haan (Rotterdam) that the name should be read as Pa-sen rather than Pinudjem.

The example cited in Montserrat (610.105) is made of terracotta. As all other known examples of shabtis for Mehyt-weskhet are made of faience it seems is perhaps unlikely this terracotta example belongs to the same lady. The title of ‘Divine Adoratrice’ is clear to read, but the name occurring immediately below appears to be restored and is probably erroneous. ¹ The example mentioned in Moscow has been published.² The shabti comprises two fragments that do not appear to match. Also add further references for examples in Paris under footnote 15. ³A further example, consisting of the upper torso, is in private collection in Bibao. Another fragment was offered for sale on the art market. ⁴
