The two unpublished shabtis from Krk (Croatia)

In this paper author discussed the two previously unknown and unpublished shabtis from the island of Krk in Croatia. Both findings are very interesting and could start debate among Egyptologists. They were discovered in the late Hellenistic graves which dates to the middle of the 1st century B.C. Along this two shabtis, three Ancient Egyptian scarabs and five amulets of cats were also unearthed. The owner of the first shabti was the Lady Mehyt-weskhet, “the Divine Adoratrice of Amun” and the mother of Egyptian pharaoh Osorkon the Elder. The second artefact is pseudoshabti of the female with naked breasts and pseudo-hieroglyphic inscription.
