Shabtis from the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb (Croatia): A Typological Study

The largest collection of shabtis in Croatia is held in the Archaeological Museum of Zagreb (312). These shabtis were collected over a long period of time, between 1865 to today from various sources, but most are of unknown provenance. All shabtis are genuine and the oldest shabti was crafted during the Middle Kingdom and the latest during the Roman period. The present study shows that almost all known types of shabtis can be found in Zagreb’s Archaeological Museum.
