Shabtis, are among the most ubiquitous finds in ancient Egyptian tombs. They were also called shawabtis and ushabtis, depending on the time period. They were often represented with tools related to agriculture, like hoes and grain baskets. The reason was that the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion, although an ideal setting, was still a place where work had to be done—including agricultural labor. Naturally, the deceased would have preferred to avoid this, so the shabtis stepped up instead.
