Shabti

Shabti, meaning answerer, are servants made out of clay or wax. Shabti had multiple functions, one being that its master could use it to perform his or her duties in the afterlife. Other shabti serve as decoys, companions, and even librarians or informants. Most shabti are made incomplete in some way; if their bodies were perfect, they would come to life and possibly kill their master.
