Food, drink, and other necessities were considered essential for the soul’s survival in the afterlife. A statue of an offering bearer like this one was believed to forever supply the deceased tomb owner with offerings for all eternity. This is why offering bearers are common in ancient Egyptian tomb art. The original artifact emulated by this statuette was discovered in the tomb of the High Steward Meketre. Holding a live duck in her right hand, the offering bearer is balancing a basket on head, just as Egyptians do today.
